West Woods Wednesdays

Geauga Park District introduces West Woods Wednesdays Farm Market, taking place the last Wednesdays of June through September from 4-7 p.m. beneath the scenic shelters of The West Woods, 9465 Kinsman Road in Russell Township.

Approved vendors will provide honey items, herbal salves and teas, vegetables, maple syrup, bakery, hand-sewn market bags, gourmet bacon, handmade soaps, jams, self-watering plants and planters from recycling containers, and new vendors are still signing up to participate.

There will also be a Hunger Squad food truck on-site with a large variety of tasty meals, including their very popular maple pulled pork sandwiches.

Geauga Park District is still accepting applications from interested vendors, particularly those with fresh produce, flowers, breads/baked items and other similar products. Find the vendor application link on Bulletin Board on the park district website.
