LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) – The Lima Farmers Market has kicked off a new season, once again serving as a one-stop shop for fresh produce and homemade goods.
This marks the second year the market is being held at the University of Northwestern Ohio’s Racer Station on Cable Road. Food trucks and local vendors lined the area, offering everything from honey and hanging baskets to soap, baked goods and other handmade items. The market is also helping make fresh produce more accessible to those on food assistance programs.

“Something that's a really great program that we offer is you can use your SNAP and EBT card here to buy fresh and local produce and food items, and then we actually match that. So, we have an incentive matching program where for every dollar you spend off your EBT card, we match that with Produce Perks up to $25," said Madelyn Downing, manager of the Lima Farmers Market.
The Lima Farmers Market is open every Saturday through Sept. 27 from 9 am. to noon at the UNOH campus, located at 1365 N. Cable Road in Lima.
