LIMA, OH (WLIO) - The weather was just right on Saturday to head to the farmer's market for fresh local food. 

The University of Northwestern Ohio will be the home of the weekly farmers market during the 2024 season.

The fall season is bringing a lot of colorful produce to the Lima Downtown Farmers' Market. Vendors are now offering items like apples, squash and more. People can even buy apple pies. All of these items can be purchased every Tuesday right outside the Civic Center. One of the vendors says there are several reasons why it's better to buy fall produce from the farmers market.

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 Farmer’s Market are thankful that customers have been so patient with the delay.

If you have been missing warmer days and the company of Wapakoneta's Farmers' Market you do not have to look far to get your homemade fix.

The Farmers' Market has relocated to a heated building at Buckland Silos northwest of Wapak for the winter. Though smaller and without the fresh produce, the market is still offering access to primarily homemade items as well as coffee and fresh baked goods. The winter market is a trial run for the folks behind it to see if they can offer their regulars a year-round experience.

"Obviously it's a chance for us to make money but it's more to keep our loyal customers happy," said vendor Mike Sherman. "When our farmers' market ends in October everybody kind of forgets about us for six months. We see a lot of regulars and by being in Buckland we're getting new regulars so that's a plus."

Local and in-season produce made its way back to downtown Lima today.
