BuyCincy is pleased to present our first monthly installment of The Locavore Report. Valerie of the Cincinnati Locavore
blog will be stopping by regularly to give us an update on
locally-produced foods in the Greater Cincinnati area. We hope
you enjoy this new addition to the site!
The official start of the farmshed season at Findlay Market
(although many vendors have attended occasionally throughout the winter
depending on what they had available) is this coming Saturday, April
19th from 8 - 6. I contacted the attending farmshed and outdoor
vendors and asked them what they'd be bringing to market on opening
day. Many vendors will also be offering a raffle item for the Farmshed
Spring Kickoff. Raffle tickets can be purchased from the individual
vendors.

What a fantastic new feature for BuyCincy! It's great to get some info on what to expect on Saturday; thanks so much!
Darn, I looked to late, it is Saturday night and I missed it.
