At last it’s (almost) June, the first full month of Ohio’s growing season and the unofficial start of farmers market season in Ohio! The season is already well underway here in Sunbury, where the Sunbury Farmers Market runs in Sunbury Town Square, 51 E Cherry Street, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays through September 28.
Among the regular weekly vendors (Ranch 61 Mercantile included), here are a few market highlights for Saturday, June 1:
Ciao Bella Bread Co.


Fresh sourdough bread, bagels, rolls and more. Ciao Bella also wins the prize for the most beautiful vendor stand. Come check it out!
New Standard Coffee Roastery



Fresh, flavorful coffee beans roasted right here in Central Ohio. Buy whole beans or ground coffee. Or let them brew a cup for you. No better way to start your Saturday than with a warm cup of joe!
Also look out for:
Bryant’s Honey
From beekeeper and honey maker Mark: “We have approximately 30 hives and harvest our own honey.” Mark is vice president of the East Central Ohio Beekeepers Association and also teaches beekeeping through ECOBA.
Nibble and Neigh

Ranch 61 Mercantile’s own resident cookie company. Hefty New York-style cookies handmade by Ranch 61 barn manager Ellen. Enjoy a Blondie, Scout or William. Or sink your teeth into a classic chocolate chip. Look out for new varieties soon, including tasty gluten-free.
See you Saturday!
