We’re excited to announce the return of the North End Farmers Market!

More details are coming soon, but for now we’re officially opening up vendor interest for the 2026 season!

This year is going to be bigger and better than ever. As you may have heard, the market is moving one block up to our new location at 486 Springmill Street, Mansfield. This new corner will give vendors more visibility and help bring even more energy and traffic to the market each week.

The North End Farmers Market will kick off on June 18th and run every Thursday from 4–7 PM.

If you’re interested, please fill out an interest form at the link below with your information https://www.necic-ohio.org/surveys/2026-north-end-farmers-market-vendor-interest-form

Once submitted, a member of our team will follow up with next steps and the full application.

We can’t wait to see everyone back at the market this summer!

Stay Tuned for more information!

Vendor registration for The North End Farmers Market will be posted later today!

Grow by NECIC will offer fresh, locally-sourced food for sale and serve as the new hub of operations for the North End Community Improvement Collaborative.

Today is Giving Tuesday

Thanks to the generosity of supporters, North End Community Improvement Collaborative (NECIC) is 75% of the way to their goal.

If you have not yet given, today is the best day to do so for any non profit you want to support! Donations made between 10 to 11 a.m. and 1 to 2 p.m. are especially helpful as they give additional chances to qualify for bonus awards.

This year, 100% of your donation to NECIC directly supports the individuals in the Specialty Crop Manager Program and the work happening on the NECIC Urban Farm on Bowman Street(Home of the North End Farmers Market) and at the Flourish Farm at RiCI. These individuals help grow thousands of pounds of fresh produce each year and your support helps them continue this work.

Thank you to everyone who has supported NECIC and our Urban Farm this year!

Our friends at the North End Community Improvement Collaborative (NECIC)just launched their Richland Gives campaign, and this year’s focus is one that’s especially close to our hearts.

If you’ve ever visited the North End Farmers Market, you’ve likely met some of the incredible individuals who help us each week setting up vendor spaces and working behind the scenes at the NECIC Urban Farm on Bowman Street. These are the same folks who help plant, nurture, and harvest the produce grown at the Urban Farm, all done voluntarily.

This year, NECIC’s Richland Gives campaign supports the individuals and the Specialty Crop Manager Program that make the Urban Farm and the Flourish Farm at RiCI possible. Your donation goes directly toward the people who help grow fresh, local produce right here in the North End.

When you give, you’re supporting the very people who make our market thrive. You’re helping feed the farmers who feed our community and you’re investing in the future of local food in our neighborhood.
