Local Roots welcomes OEFFA Farm Tour
The Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA) brings its annual Farm Tour series to Local Roots Market and Café and the South Market Bistro on Saturday, October 1.
According to OEFFA, this annual series of free public tours features organic and ecological farms and food businesses in Ohio, “providing unique opportunities for growers, educators, and conscientious eaters to see, taste, feel, and learn what alternative production systems are all about from the real experts—the farmers themselves.” The goal of connecting people to the sources of the great food they eat dovetails with the Local Roots mission.
The market will welcome OEFFA tour guests throughout the business day of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. In the afternoon, the tour group will head for an afternoon treat at South Market Bistro, where special arrangements have been made for tour participants. The Bistro sources Local Roots Market products for their menu, showcasing locally-grown food.
As a year-round market for locally-produced foods and other agricultural products, Local Roots Market is located at 140 S. Walnut St. in Wooster. The market is open weekdays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Membership is not required to shop.
