FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE....
Columbus, Ohio— The North Market supports thirty-plus small businesses seven days a week, twenty some farmers on Saturdays during the growing season, fifty odd (in number not in character) artisans on the first and third Sundays from May through October, and now on select Sundays, in partnership with the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s Ohio Proud program, another dozen small businesses who are creating fabulous foodstuffs right here in the buckeye state.
Ohio Proud Sundays will be held on the outdoor Farmers’ Market plaza at the North Market from 12 noon until 5 p.m. on the following dates: June 14, July 12 and September 13.
"At a time when there is growing emphasis on safe, local foods, the Ohio Proud Program is pleased to partner with the North Market to help consumers find wholesome Ohio-grown products,” said Ohio Department of Agriculture Director Robert J. Boggs. Ohio Proud is the department’s signature marketing program that promotes more than 1,500 food and agricultural products ranging from fresh meats, fruits and vegetables, to dairy products, wine and snack food.”
