The Northwood Area Farmers Market Association was founded in 2008 to bring fresh locally produced and grown food and value added products from local businesses to the community. We hope to help local businesses market their products and promote sustainable agriculture and economic growth. Market dates and hours: Every Tuesday from 3-6 pm from mid-May to early October.

Another reason to grow and eat local foods.
We have gotten very used to finding food from all over the country and the planet in our supermarkets, but climate change may limit some of the staples we expect to find in the stores. Is it time to learn to eat what grows in our region for most of our diet, and to help our growers expand the crops and experiment with new and unfamiliar edibles? What other ways can we cope with products like peanut butter and chocolate (yikes!) getting hard to find and expensive?
