Northside Farmers Market - Cincinnati

This restaurant offers live music on occasion and serves freshly made items like bakery goods, tofu, miso, and popsicles during the summer months.

Located in Hoffner Park in Northside, known as the hippy part of Cincinnati, the market is close to other vegan-friendly establishments. I often enjoyed lunch with a friend before browsing the market. Bluebird Bakery, the only all-vegan bakery at the market, impressed me with their delicious chocolate chip cookies, some of which were organic and gluten-free. Street Pops offers flavorful, all-natural popsicles that are perfect on hot days. Fab Ferments, a local kombucha vendor run by Jen and Jordan, offers the tastiest kombucha in town. I highly recommend visiting the Northside Farmer's Market for unique treats. While I didn't purchase all my groceries there, I did find some special items to enjoy throughout the week.

I used to visit the Northside Farmer's Market in Cincinnati a few years ago to pick up some park vine (baked goods) and recently decided to go back this summer. I enjoy the sense of community at this farm market, although the selection from vendors can vary. This year, I was particularly interested in the mushrooms, street popsicles, blueberries, vegan baked goods, and Fab Ferments kombucha. While I didn't do much shopping for myself, I found that some vendors didn't always have what I needed or their prices were higher compared to the nearby Findlay Market. Located in Hopewell Park in Northside, which is known as a hippie area of Cincinnati, the market is also close to other vegan-friendly establishments. I especially enjoyed the vegan bakery called Bluebird Bakery, where the chocolate chip cookies were delicious and some were organic and gluten-free. Street-Pops offered refreshing and flavorful popsicles, perfect for hot days, while Fab Ferments had the most beautiful kombucha in the city, made by two talented individuals named Jen and Jordan. I highly recommend visiting the Northside Farmer's Market for unique and tasty finds. I was able to stock up on veggies for the week, even if I didn't find everything on my list.
