Use your Labor Day holiday to visit Clifton Market.

2. Tuesday
Loveland Farmers’ Market focuses on educating consumers about sustainability and the benefits of consuming locally sourced produce.

Tuesdays through October, 3–7 p.m. lovelandfm.com

3. Wednesday
If you haven’t visited the new and improved Summit Park in Blue Ash, Wednesday is the day to do it.

Wednesdays through October 4, 3:30–7 p.m. blueash.com

4. Thursday
College Hill Farm Market features live music, healthy produce, and an unbeatable selection of locally baked goods. Even better?

If using EBT, you can qualify for $10 in “matching Produce Perks Tokens” to be used for fresh fruits and vegetables from participating vendors. 5742 Hamilton Ave., College Hill. Thursdays through October 12, 3–6:30 p.m. collegehillfarmmarket.org

End your week of Farmers’ Market exploration at the Holy Grail: Findlay Market.

If you haven’t been in awhile, the revitalization of OTR has brought out the market’s glory—it’s definitely worth a trip. 1801 Race St., Over-the-Rhine. findlaymarket.org
