Farmer's Markets

| Also listed in: Ohio Rural Communities |
Rural communities are frequently seen as locations of "mega-farms"; particularly in Ohio's western counties. This perception has gained traction over the past couple of decades. Although; increasing energy costs, along with price inflation for fertilizers & pesticides may contribute to a return to smaller scale, local production. Several demographic and economic issues contribute to the recent interest in "Farmer's Markets". Around our state, several cooperative organizations have been established to grow & market produce on a small scale.
