Your Market in the City: A Partnership between North Union Farmers Market and CSU

It’s back! North Union Farmers Market and Cleveland State University are proud to announce the grand re-opening of the Earth to U. Farmers Market on the downtown CSU campus on Thursday, May 13 from 10:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

The market will provide fresh fruits and vegetables, locally made products, and live music every Thursday through October 2. The market is located in front of the law school on Euclid Avenue between E. 18th and E. 21st streets.

The North Union Farmers Market is partnering with CSU and other neighborhood partners to bring fresh, local produce to the faculty, staff and students of CSU, downtown workers and community members. The market features local vendors and farmers selling an abundance of Ohio-grown produce and food products; products featured at the 2010 market include fresh spring greens, herbs, beans, cheese, beef, honey, maple syrup and an endless variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. In addition, local bakers and artisans will offer breads, pies, pastries, jams, pasta and more.

In addition to great shopping, Earth to U. is a wonderful spot for lunch, featuring local restaurants that serve up delicious sandwiches, soup, burgers, quiches and sides. Live music from local bands will also make each Thursday a festive occasion. The public is invited to enjoy the beautiful weather, listen to some of Cleveland’s up-and-coming artists and purchase their weekly produce.
