INEVENTS ROSS TOWNSHIP FARMERS MARKET This year was another great one for Ross Township’s Farmers Market. The market was held in the parking lot of its partner, St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, and open every Wednesday from 3 to 7 p.m. from mid-May until the last weekend in October. The Ross Township Farmers Market was started in 2012 and is a small market featuring 12 to 16 farm/food-based local vendors, with crafters joining in for the first and last three weeks of each season. All of the vendor fees get donated to the North Hills Food Bank, totaling well over $2,000 each year! The market offers flower, herb and veggie plants in the spring, fresh vegetables in the summer, preserves/ jams, sauces, pickles and “canned” veggies, numerous handmade flavored pastas, a wide range of olive oils and balsamic vinegars, hot BBQ meals and BBQ sauce, a variety of Amish baked goods, fresh eggs, honey and honey products, German garlic, hardy perennials, kitchen items, homemade cookies and cakes, dog treats, gyros and meat pies, ice balls, candies, snacks and more.
