Cuyahoga Valley Farmers Market

11/01/2026

One week later and we’re still riding the high of all the fungi fun we had last weekend! 🍄😍

SO much gratitude for the super cool crowd that showed up in their best fungi attire, the speakers who got our mental gears turning, the volunteers who helped bring our wild ideas to life, the vendors who brought their funkiest offerings, and all of you who came along for the shroomy ride!

We couldn’t have dreamed up a better way to close out one of our best outdoor seasons yet! 💚

But the fun doesn’t stop here! We’re heading indoors to Old Trail School starting this Saturday, November 7th, from 9am–12pm.

The flow of local food in CVNP never stops, and neither do we! See you indoors every Saturday, ALL winter long!

Rapid fire questions, but make it fungi-focused 😜🍄

We caught up with Niah at the farmers market to talk all things mushrooms—from cultivating and foraging to cooking and what sparked her fungi obsession!

And fun fact… Niah doesn’t have social media. We love that for her 👏🏻

There’s SO much more to her story (and so much mushroom wisdom!) in our latest blog. Trust us, it’s worth the read!

We asked. You answered. And together, we can keep saying YES! 🥕💚

55 generous donors. $9,135 raised. 366 families supported through the end of the year 🥹

WOW. Our hearts (and our baskets) are full!

Because of YOU, more of our neighbors will have access to fresh, nourishing food, and more dollars will stay right here in our local food system, supporting the growers who feed our community.

To every single person who donated, shared our posts, spread the word, or cheered us on… THANK YOU. This is what community looks like, and we couldn’t be more grateful to be part of it.

Here’s to good food, good neighbors, and always finding a way to say YES 🥕❤️

P.S. The campaign may be over, but our commitment to food access never ends! You can support Carrot Cash year-round through the link in our bio.

An organic mess never looked so good 🍄😜

We teamed up with the wildly talented Garth Phillips (Garth Phillips ) at Cleveland Print Co. (Cleveland Print Co. ) for another limited-edition tee & he absolutely crushed it AGAIN. We’re so grateful for the creativity, heart & love he pours into these designs 💚

But there’s a sneaky surprise we’re not revealing just yet… 👀 Garth mentions playing with different print placements. Any guesses what else he might be adding to the tee?

Just like our iconic trippy drippy tomato tee, this long-sleeve beauty is a LIMITED DROP. Only 120 printed. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Grab yours at the Fungi & Fermentation Fest THIS SATURDAY!

📅 Saturday, October 24
⏰ 8:30 AM nature walk | 9 AM–12 PM festival
📍 Howe Meadow | 4040 Riverview Rd., Peninsula, OH
💚 FREE + family-friendly!

Volunteer board members needed to help shape the future of our farmers market 💚

Our community market is brought to life by a small but mighty staff and passionate board of directors.

We are currently looking to grow our board by adding both PATRONS and VENDORS to our ranks.

More specifically, we are looking for energetic folks with philanthropic, business and other market related skills to contribute a few hours each month to our “locavore” mission.

If interested, please stop by the information tent at the front of the market to chat with one of our board officers THIS SATURDAY (10/17).

We look forward to meeting you!

Our friends at Food Rescue US - Akron will be at Market tomorrow collecting food to distribute to local social service agencies. Vendors can donate products after the Market and customers are invited to buy an extra to donate.

This will be the final Food Rescue date in 2026 and we plan to resume next Spring!

Cuyahoga Valley… you’re showing UP! 🥕💚

Thanks to this incredible community, we’ve raised $5,110 toward our $8,000 Carrot Cash goal!

That’s $5,110 going right back into our local food system, helping neighbors bring home fresh, nutritious food while supporting the farmers who grow it. A win-win-win, if you ask us 🌱

We’ve got just TWO weeks left to raise the remaining $2,890, and we have a feeling this community can make it happen!

To everyone who’s donated, shared our posts, or helped spread the word, THANK YOU. We couldn’t do this without you.

Let’s keep the good food (and good karma) flowing! 🥕 Donate to help us keep saying YES to fresh food for our neighbors 💚
