Categories: market growth, music @ the market Comments: 0

We had a great customer turnout this past Saturday seeing many familiar friends and quite a few new faces as well! Our 36 vendors enjoyed a steady stream of happy market goers for the 5 hours that we were open for our winter reprise of the Haymaker Farmers’ Market. We heard the music of Halim el Dabh, Brian Henke and the Celtic Clan from the U.U. Church in Kent. Next week Music @ the Market will present Peggy Coyle and Brad Bolton, the duo of Galgozy and Zeleny and Jon Mosey will bring it home for our last performance of the 2010 market season. We look forward to seeing everyone next weekend. I want to wish everyone a happy holiday and healthy and prosperous New Year.

Fritz.

Categories: market business, market growth, Mural @ the Market, music @ the market Comments: 0

Haymaker Farmers’ Market
Franklin Ave.
Kent, Ohio

The Ohio Arts Council has awarded its Arts Access grant to the Haymaker Farmers’ Market in Kent Ohio. The grant will help to fund the Market Mural Project to be completed over the next several months at the market site on Franklin Avenue. The Ohio Department of Transportation has approved the project subject to liability waivers from the City of Kent to the State of Ohio regarding future mural maintenance.
The project has been spearheaded by market director Fritz Seefeldt and will utilize the artistic vision of Kent artist and KSU graduate Elaine Hullihen. The mural will be completed by members of the community, art students and vendors from the farmers’ market. The completed artwork will be painted on the columns and lintels under the Haymaker viaduct (Edmond Greer Bridge) as it passes over the market site. Scenes of the market and of Kent’s unique history will be featured throughout the work.

Projected market mural- Haymaker Farmers' Market

The Kent market is in the midst of its 18th year having begun in 1992 making it the first public farmers’ market in the area. 2010 marks a record year both in terms of diversity and number of vendors as well as in attendance by the public. According to the market manager, the Music @ the Market series spotlighting local musicians and the now completed market bench project have contributed to market growth in recent years. The music series has been partially funded through the city of Kent’s Celebrate Kent! grant.

Market in full swing!

This last week brought us the season’s first red tomatoes from Bernie Chaykowski of Mantua Ohio. Bernie also brought along a wide variety of early season crops along with quite a few green tomatoes too. He said that there is a growing (pardon the pun) market for the green ones as people learn the joys of cooking and eating them.

Rafael Rodriguez at Haymaker 26 June 2010

Most of our vendors sold out early or were left with only scraps on their tables by market’s end at 1:00 this past Saturday. Rafael, still grinning about Spain’s 2-0 win over Chile in the World Cup this past week was able to find lucky homes for his wonderful breads before noon. He said that he didn’t understand why it took so long this week, he is usually done by shortly after 11 am. I reminded him that pride goeth before a fall, and how easily the long-shot Swiss had managed a 1-nil win over Spain early in the series. The Segovian quietly looked down at the ground and predicted that this wouldn’t be reoccurring anytime soon. Viva España!! ~Congratulations Spain! World Cup 2010!!!!~

Some of you may have seen me climbing the light pole this past Saturday. No this wasn’t a publicity stunt for the papers, I was just plugging in the power for this weeks Music @ the Market performer, Byron Walker. Byron entertained the market for close to 3 hours. I only schedule the musicians for the 10 am to noon time slot to avoid the heat of the day, but in Byron’s wife’s words, “Once he gets going, it’s tough to get him to knock it off!”. We all laughed and Byron continued to entertain us all. great job, and thank you for your playing. This next week, July 3rd, the Kent Shindig All-Stars will return to Haymaker in a big way. The band led by Kent’s own David Badagnani will feature 11 musicians this year. Please don’t miss it as the market joins in the Heritage Festival/July 4th festivities!
