Historic Hamilton, Ohio Farmers Market

Historic Hamilton, Ohio  Farmers Market

Farmer's Market
In the summer of 1875 a contingent of farmers and other local vendors drove their trucks into downtown Hamilton, Ohio near the courthouse on High Street where they offered goods such as firewood, dairy goods, fruits, vegetables, eggs, crafts, and more. The atmosphere was casual, the open air commerce enticing, the goods fresh, and the result remarkable. This became a downtown institution until the mid-1950's.

Thanks to the effort of Historic Hamilton, Inc. the Hamilton Farmer's Market is up and running again offering various types of produce and flowers. Specialties include mushrooms, herbs, and beautiful flowers, all of which are locally grown.
