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.
Why do the vendors and the market management and other volunteers work hard throughout the week and show up every Friday at market? The picture above supplies the answer. Mother and daughter, Colleen and Hannah, and all the other happy customers, make all the work worthwhile. We love, love, love to see happy shoppers leaving market with their arms laden full of items provided by our market vendors. The green and white bag on Hannah's shoulder is from the Romans Family Farm's Eating Seasonally CSA. One of the other bags is chock full of zucchini that Hannah plans to turn into salsa. Oh, yum. Maybe she will share her recipe with us so we can add it to a future newsletter.
Do you want to Eat Well like Colleen and Hannah? You can by stopping by the market each Friday to pick out your family's favorite items, along with branching out by trying some of the not so familiar veggies. And remember, all the produce sold at LEWFM is grown using no synthetic chemicals. In addition to food items, you can also purchase your soap, personal care products, including shampoo and conditioner, and household cleaners; all of which are made without synthetic chemicals. And, that's not all: We have several craft vendors who offer both practical and beautiful items for you, your home, and gifts for others.

RECENTLY ADDED ITEMS
We are busting to tell everyone about some new items vendors are planning to add to their lineup. However, we just have to keep it under wraps for a tiny bit longer, until all the "ducks" are in a row. We expect to be able to unveil product additions very soon. This newsletter goes out only once each week; however, for the latest up-to-the-minute breaking news you can visit the market Facebook page here. You do not need to join Facebook to simply view the market's Facebook page and get the latest market news, along with a plethora of useful and important information about all things food.

MUSIC AT THE MARKET
This week will certainly be a toe-tapping experience at LEWFM. We are pleased to announce that Green Key, a 5 member band, will be entertaining market goers. Green Key will be performing Celtic and other traditional songs and tunes that will both feed our souls and set our feet to tapping.
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 fifth 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
