We’re thrilled to share that a 1927 Willys-Knight will be on display during the evening — the perfect photo opportunity to show off your 1920s attire and capture a little vintage glamour. 📸

A big thank you to the Mansfield family for generously sharing this stunning vehicle and helping us take that ’20s vibe up a notch. We can’t wait for you to see it in person!

🌽 Exciting news for the Ottawa Farmers Market and our community! 💚

The Ottawa Farmers Market has been approved to participate in the Ohio Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)!

This program helps eligible seniors access fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables, herbs, and honey by providing financial benefits they can use directly at participating farmers markets. It’s designed to support healthy food access for older adults while also supporting local farmers and strengthening community markets.

This is a big win for Ottawa — connecting seniors with fresh local food and supporting the growers who make our market special.

We look forward to sharing more details about how seniors can participate and use their benefits at the Ottawa Farmers Market this season! Link to website in comments.

(Also check out our fun character we made for the Market this year using our logo! Any thoughts on a name?)
