Local farmers are slowly putting more Ohio-grown produce out on their stands.
The excessive rainfall for most of Ohio in the months of May and June put a damper on the growth of crops, especially corn. Corn harvest has been pushed back almost four weeks because of the overly wet conditions. Vendors at the Downtown Lima Farmers' Market are thankful that customers have been so patient with the delay.
“I feel like a lot of people are understanding and have just been really helping and really grateful for the farmers and the produce that we do have,” said Faith Swem, Swiss Country Market assistant manager.
The Downtown Lima Farmers' Market will be held every Tuesday from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm until October 8.
