North Union Farmers
Market
Saturday mornings 8 am - noon Their fourteenth
year at the Square
The North Union Farmers Market will open its 2008 season at
Shaker Square on Saturday morning April 12, with a blessing
for a prosperous season, followed by the annual sheep
shearing.
This is their fourteenth year at the Square. Once again this
year the Market will use the east and westbound lanes of
Shaker Boulevard.
On opening day, after the blessing, our annual sheep
shearing begins. It's a real attraction for youngsters. Jeff
Baldwin, our sheepshearer, told stories to young and old
alike, while he sheared his sheep. Another highlight was our
Chef at the Market program. On opening day it featured Doug
Katz from fire restaurant preparing a Spring breakfast
sampler.
Local Farmers will unveil their fresh grown produce, bakers
will present delicious artisan breads and pastries, and for
the "cooking-challenged" there will be prepared foods
created locally with an international flair. Fine artists
and craftsmen round out the festive market Clevelanders have
grown to love! As we look forward to planting our gardens,
our Spring Flower Market of acclimatized plants grown in
Ohio and ready to adapt to your garden, will be waiting for
you.
A weekly highlight will be the Chef at the Market program,
with local chefs and fantastic home cooks showing how to
prepare spring dishes.
The Market is named for the North Union Shakers (1822 -
1889) whose land became the major part of Shaker Heights.
Sorry - no dogs. Not allowed per Cleveland laws.
After the outdoor market closes we will enjoy the North
Union Farmers Market indoors, in the same location as last
year. click here.
