Findlay Market is a great time! I arrived about an hour before they closed for the day which is not…read morenearly enough time to explore the market. I could easily spend 4 hours there, shopping, tasting, and taking in all the different shops, artisans, and products. I don't remember the name of the shops I bought from, however both were delicious! I could easily go back over and over again, there is truly so much to explore! If you cook and you're traveling out of state to visit Findlay like I was, I strongly suggest bringing insulated totes and/or coolers! There is so much to take home from all the different butcher shops and such!

We stopped by Findlay Market, while visiting Cincinnati for a long weekend. The Findlay Market…read morewould be similar to the Strip District in Pittsburgh. There were several ethnic food vendors (Jamaican, Mexican, Columbian, Vietnamese, ect). There is also an open fish and meat market as well as other vendors and places of interest.

Sometimes honey or baked goods. You might also find a bite to eat! I particularly enjoy the market in the summer because then it's outside at Hoffner Park. In the winter it's inside the church up the road.

As a new resident perusing the streets of Northside, I happened upon a placard claiming a Farmers'…read moreMarket from 4pm to 7:30pm at the North Presbyterian Church. I walked in through the doors of the Church and found a smallish set-up with tables stocked with wares from various farmers and food producers. Fab Ferments was my first stop where I had utterly sublime Kimchi. Their juniper caraway saurkraut was super tasty too. I spoke with one of the two business partners of the fermented food operation and it was a pleasure to speak to the fellow who made the food I was enjoying so much. His affected hippiesque speaking style was appreciated, not overwhelming and lent authenticity to the experience. I was, after all, chowing down on rotting vegetables. But rotting in a truly remarkable way. Flute music was being played by another guy at a nearby table, and it seems that music is scheduled for proper marketing ambiance. The website lists some of the products to expect, but microgreens, honey, various root vegetables, gourmet cookies, spices and herbs, apples and other stuff I'm forgetting are there for your shopping convenience. As with most farmers' markets, bring cash. Wednesdays from 4-7:30pm. Street parking and probably lot parking available, though I walked it.

Located on the periphery of Findlay Market and right off the street car, they had a lot of cool…read morelocally/regionally made items and some of the prettiest produce and flowers.

This space on the exterior section of Findlay Market offers fresh and local food items. Among other…read morethings, I've found CinSoy, the local brand of tofu and soy-based sauces and such, in abundance. They do have some vegetables even when the regular farmer's market isn't in season, and it's also a good place to search out local snack brands. Did you know that Hen of the Woods chips come in white cheddar jalapeño? I didn't, but I couldn't leave without a bag. The place is as pricey as one might expect, and is likely to serve only as a source of these niche food items rather than a staple, but as such, it is successful.

I'm sorry, I really don't get this store…read more.. When we went the shelves were pretty bare, no one greeted us, and the cooler that looked like it houses veggies was completely empty. We were in on a Sunday around 1. So pretty typical biz hours? They are a curated mini-market of sorts making a home for niche locally made products like honey, jam, kombucha, coffee and sauces. I get the idea - and I appreciate it, I really do. I'm actually doing an event series called Cincy Made with nearly every vendor in this shop. I am a die hard supporter of local. But the part I don't get is what makes this shop any different from anything else? And that is straight up honest feedback. I am not trying to be mean, just an observation. There are just so many places that carry these locally made products now (especially at Findlay!) I just feel like they are going to have to do something different to separate themselves if they want to stay open longterm. I cannot see myself making a special trip here because most of what they have, I can just pick up where I am already doing my local shopping.

DIRT is an up & coming locally sourced store nuzzled in colorful Findlay Market…read more Retail varies from locally sourced meats, cheeses, veggies and fruits to handmade artisanal items. The shelves aren't super packed so there is room for growth. One of my favorite features in the kombucha on tap! The one I tried definitely had a ginger zing. You can purchase a mason jar to put the kombucha in or bring your own. The drink was delicious and I swear I could feel the good bacteria repairing my very battered gut. DIRT brings together community and there is so much potential to connect local consumers and producers. It's a great addition to Cincinnati!
