North Union Farmers Market is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to connecting local farmers with consumers through our network of 10 farmers markets across Greater Cleveland. We also run food education programs like Mighty Locavores and support food access initiatives to make fresh, healthy food available to all.
Volunteers are the heart of our markets! Whether you’re setting up tents, assisting with community programs, or helping at our biggest event of the year—the Cleveland Garlic Festival—your time and energy help strengthen local farms, support small businesses, and build a healthier community.
