Some customers have asked us when we will be moving back to Harvest Home Park; therefore, we realize that not everyone has been made aware that we will be staying at Cheviot United Methodist Church throughout the summer. Please help us spread the word about the market's correct location!
While the market's year round location is Cheviot United Methodist Church 3820 Westwood Northern Blvd. 45211, the location at the church varies depending on other activities at the church and depending on the weather (sunny and warm, we're outside; stormy or cold, we're inside). Just follow the happy voices and you'll find us.

This week's spotlight is shining on Romans Family Farm, a multigenerational farming enterprise that has been with us since the market's inception. The picture above shows only a small portion of what this talented family provides: veggies, fruits, flowers, woodcraft items (created by Allen, who also happens to be a chef), along with numerous surprises they bring to us from their two family farms each week.
In addition to their plethora of items for sale each week, the Romans Family Farm also offers a produce CSA through their Eating Seasonally CSA. If you are unfamiliar with the concept of a CSA, there are many online sites where you can learn more, such as the Local Harvest website http://www.localharvest.org/csa/ At last week's market the Romans indicated that they currently have four spaces left in their CSA. Customers who have been part of Romans CSA for several years have told us (Market Management) that they enjoy learning how to use the new types of produce, along with the all time favorites, that comes in their weekly bag. We encourage you to stop by their booth this week for further details. You can also visit their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Eating-Seasonally-CSA/176990062341129

REMINDERS
While some of you are long-time readers of the newsletter, people who are new to the market are reading the newsletter for the first time; therefore, the Reminders section is included each week so new folks can see what's happening around the market and around town.
I Love My Farmers' Market Celebration marks the fift year American Farmland Trust has hosted a summer-long event to honor our nation's hardworking family farmers and to raise the national awareness about our bountiful farmers' markets. The celebration encourages consumers to pledge to support family farmers by making at least $10 of their food purchases each week at their farmers' market. Already spend more than that at the farmers' market? How about increasing your weekly purchase by an additional $10? In addition, you are invited to stop by the market management booth for details about how you can enter to win a market bag filled with market goodies, along with $10 in Market Bucks. You can also pledge your support for your favorite farmers' market (and we sure hope it's LEWFM) at the Love My Farmers' Market website lovemyfarmersmarket.org
