DIRT: A Modern Market

I'm sorry, I really don't get this store...When we went the shelves were pretty bare, no one greeted us, and the cooler that looked like it houses veggies was completely empty. We were in on a Sunday around 1. So pretty typical biz hours?They are a curated mini-market of sorts making a home for niche locally made products like honey, jam, kombucha, coffee and sauces. I get the idea - and I appreciate it, I really do. I'm actually doing an event series called Cincy Made with nearly every vendor in this shop. I am a die hard supporter of local. But the part I don't get is what makes this shop any different from anything else? And that is straight up honest feedback. I am not trying to be mean, just an observation.There are just so many places that carry these locally made products now (especially at Findlay!) I just feel like they are going to have to do something different to separate themselves if they want to stay open longterm. I cannot see myself making a special trip here because most of what they have, I can just pick up where I am already doing my local shopping.

Cute little market with fun organic and local items--in the food and frozen department, as well as little gifts and kitchen items. It's kinda like a curated boutique food market of sorts, in a lovely little space. I suppose some might think of this as hipster grocery shopping. If I lived nearby, it might be a place I'd get some special items for a dinner party, or in a pinch just to splurge on myself.

DIRT is an up & coming locally sourced store nuzzled in colorful Findlay Market.Retail varies from locally sourced meats, cheeses, veggies and fruits to handmade artisanal items. The shelves aren't super packed so there is room for growth.One of my favorite features in the kombucha on tap!The one I tried definitely had a ginger zing. You can purchase a mason jar to put the kombucha in or bring your own. The drink was delicious and I swear I could feel the good bacteria repairing my very battered gut.DIRT brings together community and there is so much potential to connect local consumers and producers. It's a great addition to Cincinnati!

This was one of my favorite stores at Findlay Market. Drink shrubs...best ever. So I couldn't wait to return...but it's no more. Gone. Windows papered up. Color me sad. The Cherry Almond was my fave. Just so you know.

This is definitely a great asset to Findlay market- a focus on local and regional food, beverages, and artisan products. We sampled the cold brew coffees and the kombucha, although there was a substantial amount of meat and other foods, as well as cloth and bag sort of products. I look forward to coming back and seeing their expansion!
