Each month, new members join Local Roots Market and find a wide variety of locally-produced foods and other items to enjoy, and among those new members are new producers bringing new products. Local Roots now has more than 150 Ohio-based producers, and the market continues to grow.

New products at the market include:

--yogurt (from Velvet View Farmstead)

--flavored goat cheeses (Mackenzie Creamery)

--goat milk fudge (Harvest Hills Farm)

--noodles (Mrs. Troyer’s Noodles)

--dry beans (Shepherd’s Market and Moonstruck Farm)

--buckwheat (Twin Parks Farm)

--wooden cutting boards and serving trays (Wood Chips and Chuck Timothy)

--pottery (Moorefield Pottery being the latest of several)

This winter has seen a decrease in fresh produce, but Breezy Hill Farm continues to supply winter greens and roots vegetables, and other local growers are beginning to harvest lettuce, spinach, and herbs from greenhouses and high tunnels. It won’t be long before more is available, bringing springtime back inside to tempt tired tastebuds.

Local Roots will also continue to host classes on gardening, poultry raising, cooking, and other topics throughout the spring. To learn more about weekly news and events at the market, visit the website at www.localrootswooster.com and sign up for the newsletter.
