The Waynesville Farmer's Market is more than a place for produce. It's a weekly celebration of southwest Ohio agriculture. Each Saturday between mid-May and Labor Day, about 15 farmers and other vendors bring their wares to the parking lot of Der Dutchman Restaurant in Waynesville.
Offerings range from bedding plants and cut flow ers to honey and organically produced meats.
The market also hosts a Healthy Living Series with a different program each week. The first session focused on safe canning practices. The next features sixth-generation Waynesville farmer Milton Cook, who will demonstrate how to make soil blocks for early planting of seed. Many participants in the Waynesville market farm organically. Guy and Sandra Ashmore, of That Guy's Family Farm in Clarksville, specialize in produce from asparagus to zucchini, and they also raise pastured chickens and turkeys.
