Farmer’s market open in downtown

YOUNGSTOWN —The Northside Farmers’ Market is open for business downtown selling fresh fruit, vegetables, canned items, coffee and baked goods.

The Northside Farmers’ Market opened in 2003 on Elm Street near Wick Park on the city’s North Side. The market is open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon between July and September, when the summer growing season ends.

Now it’s also selling the same items downtown on the northwest corner of Market and West Federal streets from 3 to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through September.

“There are far too few places in Youngstown to buy good fresh fruit and vegetables,” Mayor Jay Williams said today at the market. “I look forward to not always having to go to the grocery store” for those items.

There were 9 fruit and vegetable vendors and 4 baking goods vendors downtown today.
