The Most Scrumptious Farmers Market in Cincinnati

Oakwood Farmers’ Market

★★★★★ 4.7 (3)

"This is a great little neighborhood farmers' market in the summer. Plenty of fresh produce along with food trucks and a few booths offering baked goods, coffee, crafts, and flowers. The local library and businesses also set up. There's a kids activity area and seating area too. The last weekend of the summer is a festival atmosphere with local beer and entertainment too.... awesome."

Burwinkel Farms

★★★★☆ 3.9 (11) • $

"This review is for the roadside stand on Colerain Ave. We were on our way to our favorite art park, and noticed this little roadside stand. The sign "Fresh White Sweet Corn" caught my eye. I asked my husband if we could stop on our way back and we did. And I'm so glad we did!That corn...WOW! Some of the best white corn (Silver Queen) I've had. We picked up a few ears and I had fun fixing vegetarian meals for a couple of days. We also picked up some beautiful large black berries. They were delicious! Plump, juicy, sweet and tart. I didn't have time to add them to a dish. We ate them all in a day.If you're a corn lover and see one of the roadside stands for Burwinkel, you should stop!"

Steiner's Country Market

★★★★☆ 3.9 (10)

"Hubby & I shopped today for deli meat & cheese. Cannot beat their prices & the service is second to none. I buy spices here every time I shop. With the holidays right around the corner, I'm stocking up on garlic powder, nutmeg, ginger, poultry seasoning, etc. Also bought sandwiches that they prepare with fresh cut deli meat & cheese and all the toppings of your choice. The employees are so polite & helpful. Love this place!"

Monnin Fruit Farm

★★★★☆ 4.4 (8) • $

"I'm going to start this review by saying I'm not from around here. I hail from Northeast Ohio, where apple picking is a quintessential fall activity that takes place in late September through October. So imagine my disappointment when last October I went hunting for an apple orchard in the greater Cincinnati area only to discover every single one had sold out of u-pick apples by the end of the first weekend of the month. Um, what?!So this year I was determined to get my apple picking in, even if that meant going in the second week of September. Which I did, right here at Monnin Fruit Farm. This place is out in the country as it should be and has a great variety of apples to choose from. When we went, the honey crisp were already nearly gone, but they'd just opened up the winesap rows. We got some of everything, from Fuji to golden delicious to macintosh. You buy by the half bushel or the bushel; prices aren't posted but this year the half bushel is $20. Cash or check only!Be sure to check out the store as well. On our way out we grabbed a dozen free range eggs, some apple butter and a bag of toffee. They've also got local milk, meat products and other produce. Monnin gets high marks for 1) actually having apples, 2) posting u-pick information on Facebook, 3) their awesome store and 4) knowledgeable staff. Minus one star for a confusing map/flag system for identifying apple varieties, and only two sizes for buying apples. Didn't really need a whole half bushel but you can bet I filled that bag! Would be nice to pay by weight or have a smaller size. Overall, this place scratched my apple-picking itch. Great way to kick off fall. Now, who's ready for apple pie?"

Treadway Garden

★★★★☆ 4.4 (8) • $

"Treadway Gardens is by far and away our favorite place to get fresh fruits and vegetables. The staff at this location are always incredibly nice and very helpful. Thank you for always exceeding our expectations. We absolutely love you guys. FIVE STAR SERVICE all day long."

Carriage House Farm

★★★★★ 5 (8)

"Like a mini-Rabit Hash. Like an outing to a vineyard. Like a get-a-way to a super VRBO. This place was totally my jam. I LOVED it. We went on a day that went from brilliant sunshine to sprinkles to downpour in an instant, but it had that summer-y, vacation-y vibe to it. When we pulled up, there was a quartet of sorts playing bluegrass. A table out front had an accopanying dog sitting quietly next to his bowl of water. All the doors to the barn were open, and I was absolutely delighted with the crowd, the market, the bar, and the food truck. The view out the back isn't bad, either.We enjoyed a cocktail - bourbon and fresh made lemonade - chicken tacos, and the biscuits and gravy. Afterall, we were there for the Sunday Biscuits and Bluegrass open event!It's such a charming, laid-back place. I will definitely be back when I have friends in from out of town."

Schaefer's Farm Market & CSA

★★★★★ 4.7 (3)

"Stopped by on a cold, snowy day. The market is a small store which is out in the middle of nowhere on a family farm. I bought some tomatoes & a few limes (I'm making salsa for the Bengals playoff game). They were fresh & reasonably priced. They have freezer & refrigerated meat. They also have an abundance of jarred foods with their own label. Their hours are limited to 3 days a week so call before making the drive."

Northside Farmers Market

★★★★★ 4.8 (8) • $$

"One of the smaller markets, but as it's the neighborhood I was born and raised in, it is near and dear to my heart. For the most part you will find produce and bread. Sometimes honey or baked goods. You might also find a bite to eat! I particularly enjoy the market in the summer because then it's outside at Hoffner Park. In the winter it's inside the church up the road."

Hyde Park Farmers' Market

★★★★☆ 4.4 (29) • $$

"Hyde Park Farmer's Market is a fun little market with shopping, live music, food and a good atmosphere. It also has a good amount of vendors with smiling, friendly faces. It's always cool to come with the husband and kids and enjoy family time and the summer weather. Most vendors also have samples for you to try. It's definitely family friendly and a good place to spend time walking around enjoying life, family, other people and the true essence of a farmers market - the products. My only complaint is I would like to see a few more different vendors. They have a lot of produce vendors who all mainly sell the same types of veggies, fruits and herbs. I get that it's a farmers market but some more different type of vendors (other than produce - i.e. dessert, body products, ice cream, etc.) would be a nice addition or change."

Amish Heritage Country Market

★★★★★ 4.7 (12) • $

"This was a great side stop on the way to my brother's last fall. I started to yelp and never finished. Today, the note popped up and I realized I was still craving their luncheon meats and cheeses...that I cannot get in Oregon.I grew up in Ohio, and ate a lot of Amish deli back then. I have missed the flavors so much. As I walked through the store, I saw SO MANY of my childhood favorites, noodles, and soups, luncheon meats...so so much food I wish I could take home with me.If you are driving by, and wonder, is it worth a stop? YES! Do it!!!!"

Batavia Farmers Market

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"This is a very small farmers market, and it is kind of hit or miss how many vendors show up each week. Despite this fact I have been frequenting it, and very happy with what I have taken home. The farmers here are required to be selling things they grow themselves. I have gotten some of the best tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, watermelon, onions, pears, and a beautiful mum (which was much cheaper than at big box places, and much nicer). The prices are reasonable, generally cash only. Bring a reusable bag, or the usually have plastic. Parking is behind where the vendors are set up."

Station Road Farm & Landscaping

★★★★☆ 3.9 (7)

"I have lived in West Chest for 30 years and much of that time doing business with Station Road Farm. I don't think I could count the number of Christmas trees I have bought or fresh veggies over the years, but it's a lot!Today I returned again for fresh tomatoes and sweat corn, and I can't wait for dinner. Service and prices are excellent and I would recommend them highly."

The Heights Farmers Market

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Awesome farmers market with tons of friendly vendors and great atmosphere. Come here for fresh meat, eggs, produce and herbs. Also a few local artisans and soap makers."

Yellow Springs 4 Seasons Farmers Market

★★★☆☆ 3 (1)

"Yellow Springs 4 Season Farmer's MarketToday is National Farmer's Market Day, and we are enjoy our visits to Yellow Springs 4 Season Farmer's Market.My wife always views shopping and dining in Yellow Springs to merit an adventure - planned or on her whim...We take care to include a visit to Yellow Springs 4 Season Farmer's Market. She is certain to find products that she did not know that she needed."

Blooms & Berries Farm Market & Garden Center

★★★★☆ 3.8 (79) • $

"Stopped with my husband on a Sunday for a fall date day and to grab some fall desserts. It was PACKED with families coming in for the fall fun. Love to see so many families outside and supporting a local business. We ultimately ended up not staying since they don't have apple cider donuts and it's the main sweet treat we were hoping for. But the cider prices were great-- $2 cheaper than neighboring farm markets. Parking was crazy, but easy as there were attendants directing cars."

Daily Family Farms

★★★☆☆ 3 (2)

"I ordered the 10 pound bag of ear corn. The corn came in just a few days and the quality of the ears of corn was excellent. Our squirrels love this new addition to their diet."

Montgomery Farmers' Market

★★★★★ 4.5 (4) • $

"Visited on the first day of the season with social distancing protocols in place. Great selection that my wife had preordered. Just a matter of waiting in line as the purveyors filled my trunk. Nice job!"

37 Acres Grass Farm

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"If you're looking for humanely raised and quality poultry and pork you are in the right place. These farmers genuinely care about the quality of life they give their animals and it shows on the dinner table.The chicken is fresh and free of any unnecessary additives. Taking the farm tour was neat and I highly recommend it. You'll learn how animals that are able to roam benefit not only themselves but also the soil. Hopefully these guys lead the way in the future of farming. Check em out!"

Bowman & Landes Turkeys Farm Market

★★★★★ 4.8 (19) • $

"How has no one reviewed Bowman & Landes yet? I'm honored. I used to live in New Carlisle, and my extended family still lives in the area. It wasn't until I was older and became more concerned about buying local meat that I learned that my grandmother has purchased her Thanksgiving turkey from B & L for YEARS. Now that I'm an adult, I buy local meat (preferably organic and/or free range) whenever possible. Since I'm regularly in the area, I try to stop by their deli store to stock up on turkey products. Not only can you purchase your Thanksgiving turkey, but their deli has a great selection of products, such as deli meat, turkey breast, local pork/beef/chicken, cheeses, broth, and noodles. All of the lunch meats are made with their turkey. The turkey pastrami is killer! You can also pick up frozen ground turkey, and they have excellent ground turkey breakfast sausage!You can support a family-owned business and eat a free range turkey that lived a happy turkey life! It's a win-win, really. The staff here are friendly and helpful, and their prices are more than fair. It's worth the drive from Columbus to stock up your freezer!"

Farmer's Pavilion at The Friendly Market

★★★★★ 4.5 (4) • $

"This place could turn into a Pikes Place Market one day. The items that are there are few but the quality is superb. Unlike other places the parking is plenty and not crowded. The selection is good. Most times there are small local farmers outside. This is a better choice than going to Finley market. I have seen outside vendors unload from local store bought items and pass them off there. NOt here all items are fresh and local. If you want great fresh meat shop here the quality is grand. DO the facebook thing and follow them you might find a roller girl skating at times."

Findlay Market

★★★★★ 4.6 (596) • $$

"Cute market! One of several prime Cincinnati destinations perfect for tourists and locals. The indoor/outdoor market primarily sells food and drink with a few outdoor stalls selling housewares and apparel. Street parking is challenging at times but the nearby Findlay Parking garage offers covered parking spaces with a daily rate of $3 for the first hour. I've attached a picture of the daily rate schedule if you plan on staying past an hour."

Spaeth Farms

★★★★★ 4.5 (2) • $

"Nice little shop at a local family farm. I stumbled upon this by simply driving by. They are apparently known for their corn and peaches. They also had nice selection of tomatoes, melons, potatoes, peppers, and squash. Cash only, so make sure you're prepared! Enjoy your fresh fruits and veggies!"

Covered Wagon Farm Market

★★★★☆ 4.1 (38) • $$

"I was driving across Ohio on back roads and happened to look for an Amish market and this place popped up so I thought I would check it out. On the outside it looks kind of big and sprawling. Like you think you were going in Walmart. They have some cool little artifacts and kitschy stuff outside. You walk in and they funnel you through this weird little alcove that has some refrigerators and food in it and I was thinking that was very weird. They also have some soft serve hard candy that you bag and weigh yourself.When you walk inside this is the gold mine of Bulk Foods. I love these places. I love Bulk Foods. I get so much crap that I don't need but I can't help myself.They also had a bakery and I think they were serving some hot food but I didn't try it. I did get two rolls of Amish butter and some almond cheese. They also had a bakery and everything looked pretty good. The store was very Full of stuff. Like it looked big on the outside but it was not big on the inside and the isles are small and there's a lot of people inside so it was almost a bit claustrophobic. There's people milling around in front of the hot food counter ordering their food and there's no way you could have a shopping cart in there so you have to hold one of those arm baskets which gets very heavy very quickly. The people that work there were fairly friendly and I don't even care about all those other things because this is a kick ass amish store and I love them."

Loveland Farmers' Market

★★★★★ 4.8 (5) • $

"This has been voted one of the best markets in greater Cincy and I can see why! These guys work very hard each season to obtain great vendors and put on a very organized and well run market. During the start of the 2020 season is what put me over the top with 5 stars. They were determined to start the market as best they could. They set it up so it was pre-order online, and drive thru contactless pickup. While this limited some of the vendors available, as not all have that kind of technology, they did the best they could to continue with safety. I took full advantage of this and was very pleased with how it went. Now that things are opening back up they are again doing a walk up market, but still with the option to pre-order and pickup. The vendors are quality and all very passionate about their products. They really have everything from produce, meats, eggs, dairy, plants, cheesecake, pastas, bath products, bread and baked goods and so much more! Some of my favorite vendors are Blue Oven, Five One Three Bagel, TS Farms, and Jaybird farms. Check it out whatever way you can! The website and social media stays updated for what vendors will be attending!"

Oxford Farmers Market

★★★★★ 4.8 (9) • $

"The Uptown Farmers Market is a crucial part of the Oxford food scene. 'Nuff said.While a good farmers market is a great thing for any town, it works especially well here in Oxford where we are surrounded by small farms and talented bakers, canners, and picklers. All of the vendors are organic, local, and/or home-spun, and the market operators make site visits to ensure that farm products are indeed as advertised. Home-baked goods and jams by "Just Like Mom's." Olive bread and lemon-goat-cheese pillows by Terra Nova Bread Basket. Pork, chicken, and eggs from Morning Sun Farms. Too many vendors to list here, but all are worth checking out. Handmade soaps, pottery, flowers, and a host of other goodies as well!May - November Saturday mornings until noon. Dec - April: The 3rd Saturday of the month, 9-noon."

Kinman Farms

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (30) • $$

"My family and I have come here when the kids were little. Now I am an empty nester and I haven't come here lately. I sure missed it. First of all it's great for families. They have a petting zoo the kids will love. I love to support local farmers and they don't disappoint. Corn tomatoes peaches watermelon blackberries green beans and so much more. Hot sauces jams pickles. All so delicious They also serve food and I had the fried green tomatoes which were amazing"

West Chester Farmers Market

★★★★☆ 4 (6) • $

"The farmers market has moved to the Library Parking lot. With the above being said, it also seems smaller than it use to be. It is still very friendly and has some great offerings, but just not as many. I stopped in with my BFF on Saturday morning and we got some bread (I love baking my own bread, but it can be time consuming) we also got some salsa and homemade fresh tortillas chips, by fresh, I mean they made them literally as I was standing there. Parking was good when we got there, but we did go early. I will be back again as I do enjoy farmers markets, I just wish they had more offerings."

2nd Street Market

★★★★☆ 4.4 (105) • $$

"Such a lovely addition to Dayton. If you love Farmer's Markets, you're going to love 2nd Street Market. It's basically a farmer's market - but indoors and year-round. Walkways were wide enough to not be too crowded (even during a holiday event), and it's such a cute little spot. PROS:-Parking. EVERYWHERE. The entire building is long - and surrounded in parking. There are an insane amount of exits in this building (somewhere between 4 and 8), so no matter where you park, there's an entrance. Most of the entrances do require stairs, though, unless you use the main ones. It makes it so easy to hop in, grab what you need, and leave.-Everything is signed and designed for easy viewing. You aren't going to see things from across the building, but if you walk down the building (one hallway), you'll easily pick out what you're looking for.-Good variety of stuff. There's fresh produce, crafts, body products, furniture, gifts, and then lots of food. They've put all of the food providers together in the center of the building, so it makes it easier to just-shop or just-eat. The sellers themselves are pretty varied too - just like a farmer's market. Lots of gluten-free food options as well as pet items, crafts, bath stuff, chocolate treats, regular food, and more. It's a nice variety! -There are four-person and two-person tables. There are a few multi-people tables as well. You can grab some of the food from the food vendors and sit down and enjoy some food with others. It makes it a nice "destination" place for eating when you have multiple people in your party who have different food preferences.-The coffee at Caffeine Carl was delicious. I'm 90% sure I need to come back and get a lot more of this. CONS:-Bathrooms are definitely on the "last resort" type of side. They're not *dirty*, but they definitely haven't been updated in a long, long time. One of the stalls in the women's restroom didn't have a door - just a shower curtain. Bathrooms are clean though."

Peifer Orchards

★★★★☆ 4.3 (27) • $$

"When I was looking for Fall activities for us to do, I came across Peifer Orchards and knew this was being added to the to-do list. I grabbed my husband and our girls, dressed them in cute gingham dresses and on our way, we went to the orchard. Peifer Orchards is located in Yellow Springs, OH. There is plenty to do in Yellow Springs.What I loved about the orchard is when we arrived, it immediately gave us all the Fall and southern vibes. Pumpkins, a cute country store, gravel road, and an experience I will never forget. There is a long walk to the orchard but it was great family time walking and talking. It was hilarious to listen to our little ones talk about apples and what they thought the orchard would look like. We finally got to the end of two-lane gravel path, and there stands acres of apple trees. WOW! The girls and I were in awe. None of us had ever seen an orchard in real life and boy were we amazed. It was a field of green trees with the cutest apples hanging off of them. Some of them even looked like Christmas trees. This was such a picturesque backdrop! They have a few different apple varieties as well as apple colors. My kids enjoyed apple picking to the core! They immediately ran down the rows and started picking apples off the trees. We had our buckets and were ready to fill them with delicious, crisp apples. We all picked a few apples and tossed them in the buckets. The kids did more than their fair share of picking, but they enjoyed themselves and that's all that matters! I'm not sure that we were supposed to be eating the apples while picking, but my youngest, sweet Robyn, did not waste any time indulging. Let's just say she snagged the best apples for her afternoon snack. LOL! Once our buckets were full, which did not take long we headed back down the gravel road to head back. We could not leave without heading inside of the country store. They have food, plants, and all things Fall. We even tried their Apple Cider Slush which was amazing and bought some Amish baked goods! Needless to say, our time at Peifer Orchards was nothing short of amazing. The staff was also very nice and they had a food truck on site to purchase food from. Great idea!"

Hollmeyer's Orchard

★★★★☆ 4.3 (8) • $$

""The cider booth is back! The cider booth is back!!!" I exclaimed upon spotting Hollmeyer's table at Findlay Market's Farmers' Market. Every year in the winter, Hollmeyer's makes an appearance with baskets of a dozen varieties of fresh apples and home-pressed apple cider. Having been raised in the country, I've never been a fan of store bought cider. The taste of jugs straight from the orchard is the only way to drink an appleicious liquid.Now that I live in the city, I'm grateful Hollmeyer's can come to me. The cider is sweet, smooth and very refreshing. I'll definitely be returning to Findlay Market next weekend to replenish my favorite juiced beverage.Half gallon: $3.00Gallon: $5.00"

Kremer's Market

★★★★★ 4.7 (41) • $$

"Absolutely the best market in all of Cincinnati = everything is within 20-paces; their deli is outstanding; their selection is near perfect; and the employees are all sensational!!I am not an easy customer, but I am happy every time I walk out of Kremer's (and not because I'm leaving.)Get a Hangover Breakfast sandwich (before 11AM; this is my only complaint = just serve the Breakfast sandwiches all day.). Or a Kremer's sub. Or Classic sub. Or Gorilla Grilled Cheese (like I'm about to order except with American & Provolone instead of Jack & Swiss.). This is a quesadilla grilled cheese which I was disappointed about but it was still good."

Hampton Ridge Farm

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"We first discovered Hampton Ridge Farm at the Covington Farmers Market last summer. They're one of the regular vendors - and we purchased some of their infamous Cottage Bacon, and a dozen farm fresh eggs. My fiancé also picked up some of their pamphlets, and had been carrying around the idea that we should buy all of our meat directly from the farm ever since. He'd brought it up a few times, but finally let me know a few weeks ago that he'd placed an order for chicken, pork, and beef, and that we'd be picking it up on the farm from a man named Earl.At first, I was skeptical about visiting the farm. I am so on board with sustainable, organic, local farming, but I didn't exactly want to see "how the sausage gets made" ... literally. My fiancé assured me that we didn't have to see any of the actual animals, and that he just wanted to check out the space and meet the farmer. I hesitantly agreed, and I'm so glad I did.The farm is down in Glencoe, Kentucky ... probably 50 minutes outside of Cincy city limits. We set up a pick-up time, and were welcomed to the farm by a few sheep crossing the road in front of us (I don't eat lamb all that often, so I didn't mind seeing these particular animals). We were then officially greeted by Earl, who is probably the most down-to-earth and inventive man I've ever met. Earl gave us a small tour of the farm, explaining his resourceful processes, and how he keeps the animals cared for in different seasons. I was also grateful to know that he doesn't do any of the "processing" on site: that's handled by a middleman, who then returns the meat back to Earl to sell online and at the Farmers Market. Unfortunately, Earl explained he had just given all of his cows to his daughter and son-in-law for them to start their own farm, so he was fresh out of beef products. He did, however, stock us up on all sorts of chicken, pork sausage, chorizo, pork chops, and two dozen eggs. All of his products come frozen, and we brought an insulated bag with us for easy transport back to our home.While his prices are a little more than what you'd pay at the grocery store, you have to consider the quality and care you're paying for. Most people have no idea where their meat comes from ... even if it's organic. Even though I didn't want to actually see the animals, it's a remarkable feeling to know we're supporting a local farmer. And of course ... the proof is in the taste. Earl encouraged us to compare a store-bought chicken breast side-by-side with one from Hampton Ridge - and there's definitely a clear winner. If you're not looking to take a farm tour, don't worry, you don't have to! Visit their website and place an order for pick-up at the Covington Farmers Market. Or, just stop by the market and see what they have on hand: I promise you won't be disappointed!"

La Michoacana Mexican Market & Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (29) • $

"As you can see, from the name of this place is a combination of both a Market and a restaurant. The restaurant portion is rather small, holding about a dozen tables that seat 4 each. The menu is absolutely enormous. Just the torta section makes my mouth water. I did not order it today because I wasn't very hungry but I'm sure one sandwich was so packed it would feed me for an entire day. I did order the papas con chorizo which was terrific. Very good value and fresh. The corn tortillas served on the side were so good I could make a meal out of them. Service was attentive and helpful. No frills or fake props."

West Side Market

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"This market is fantastic, such a terrific addition to Cheviot! I discovered it while looking in FB for a community yoga class. We started our Sat morning off there with a free yoga class in the market. After our fun flow session, we received a free drink ticket so we headed over for a drink. I had a regional (IN) white wine and my fiend had a local Oktoberfest beer. Refreshing!Loads of vendors from food to pumpkins all at reasonable prices. We bought some delicious Greek products after sampling their wares. Gluten-free yellow squash pizza crusts from White Oak Valley Farm were also purchased after tasting.The Market is large enough to have a nice array of products but small enough to cover in an hour or so while tasting and shopping your way around. My understanding is that they offer some sort of exercise class free at all/most of the markets dates. I was told it's not always yoga though. Only drawback is the lack of parking which may have been harder this month due to the coincidence with Harvest Homecoming."

Springfield Farmer's Market

★★★★★ 5 (2) • $$

"Needs to actually have more fruits and vegetables. Seems like it's a lot of crafts, home made dog treats and jewelry. Love the food truck and live band. Needs more public seating, benches or something, it's very cramped in that back alley, needs moved back to the parking lot where it use to be. Take cash, most of the vendors can't accept credit cards."
