Pierogies, Fiddle Tunes On Tap Saturday at Stow Community Farmers Market
Market runs from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Stow Community United Church of Christ.
It's nearing the end of the growing season, but Stow Community Farmers Market is still offering some of the best vegetables grown in the area. The market is open from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday in the Stow Community United Church of Christ parking lot.
The farmers market offers visitors a chance to experience new ways to eat healthfully and find new recipes and tips on how to prepare and cook meal selections. There are even items such as fresh-picked cilantro and basil to enhance main dishes.
A new food will be introduced at the market this week: homemade pierogies, cooked to eat on the spot, as well as fresh to go. The pierogies will also be available during the Sept. 29 and Oct. 6 market days.
