Urban Cookhouse practices its “buy local, eat urban” motto not just in its restaurant but also in its farmers market held in SoHo on Saturdays.
“We want to show support for local farmers,” Victoria Underwood, market manager, said. “Urban Cookhouse even buys from them for the restaurant.”
The market usually has 16-20 vendors who sell produce, coffee, noodles, meats, flowers and more.
West Homewood
Farmers Market
160 Oxmoor Road
Saturdays, 8 a.m.-noon
June 7-July 27*
Sponsored by Shades Valley Community Church, the goal of the West Homewood Farmers Market is to improve the neighborhood.
“We want to wholeheartedly do something for the community,” said market manager Kenyon Ross. “The community benefits from the market.”
The market will only have as many as 14 booths, but the goal is to keep it small.
“It’s more intimate,” Ross said. “We want people to come and connect.”
With a smaller market, Ross said, customers get to know their farmers and how they grow their produce.
There will also be live entertainment, food trucks, and arts and crafts.
*Following summer market season, West Homewood will hold a night market on Aug. 14, Sept. 19 and Oct. 17 from 5-8 p.m.
