But don’t expect everything to be local. After all,
A bounty of local and imported foods can be found at
Cleveland’s historic West Side Market.
Clevelanders are clamoring for fresh and healthy
food options, and ideally, they want that food to
come from local farms.
The West Side Market, Cleveland’s original grocery
store, is just the place to go to fill your basket with
fruits, vegetables, produce, and meats that have been
raised, often organically, by fellow Ohioans. Just a
small sample of local delights that can be found at the
100 year old market include grass-fed beef from
Ashtabula County, Lake Erie Creamery cheese from
Cleveland, goat cheese from Hiram, and butter and
honey from Amish farmers in Holmes County.
In this issue:
this is Cleveland; our growing season is short.
Vegetable vendor Tom Dunderman laughs when he
talks about the unrealistic expectations of some
shoppers. "People in January ask me, 'Is this broccoli
local?' And I'll say, 'It's January; My backyard looks like
your backyard.' "

with nonlocal organic food and conventionally raised
U.S. and imported goods. This certainly holds over
the thousands of shoppers who frequent the market
each week, but it’s the locally grown and raised goods
that shoppers seek in increasing numbers. To meet
that need, new stands are continuing to open each
season. In the produce arcade, for example, new
vendors are selling Lorain County honey (Jorgensen's
Apiary) and Geauga County maple syrup (Maple
Valley Sugarbush). Inside the main market hall, the
meat vendors have remained fairly consistent over
the years, but most are now purchasing from
distributors who sell Ohio-grown chicken, beef, lamb
and pork.
Ohio farmers are optimistic that the trend toward
local food consumption will help the West Side
Market to continue to thrive for another 100 years.
