The 2025 Seven Hills Farmers Market Opens July 10th

The Seven Hills Farmers Market (SHFM) will return to the southwest corner of Broadview and Hillside Road starting Thursday, July 10th, and will be open every Thursday from 4:00 - 7:00 PM through September 25th. The market features locally grown farm-fresh produce, microgreens, baked goods, meat, spice blends, honey, sourdough bread, coffee, flowers, plants, soap, health and wellness products, kettle corn, and more. The market has free parking in the adjacent Fire Station lot, 7325 Broadview Rd, Seven Hills, Ohio.

Now in its eleventh year, the SHFM has become a beloved community hub, a place to shop locally, enjoy live entertainment, and savor delicious food. We're proud to showcase talented local musicians who contribute to our unique, welcoming vibe. Plus, our rotating lineup of food trucks makes it easy to grab dinner or a tasty snack while you browse!

Of course, farmers markets don’t run themselves.  Behind the scenes, our market staff play a pivotal, though often unseen, role. They work tirelessly to ensure the market runs smoothly for vendors and visitors alike, helping to sustain access to local food and talent while cultivating community connections that allow the SHFM to thrive. When you arrive at the Seven Hills Farmers Market, you’re stepping into a space that’s been carefully prepared hours in advance. Market day begins with the setup of tents and tables, giving vendors the space they need to arrange their booths efficiently and attractively. Traffic cones are placed to define the food truck area, while speakers and instruments are unpacked, organized and sound-checked to ensure an enjoyable live performance. Along Broadview Road, mini step-stakes are positioned to line the sidewalk, promoting the wide variety of local vendors you will find at the market.

The freshness at the Seven Hills Farmers Market begins long before its 4:00 PM opening. Many of the crops are harvested the night before or the morning of the market, ensuring peak freshness, nutrients, antioxidants and flavor. Bakery items are also prepared within 24 hours of being sold. As a producers-only market, every product must be grown, raised, or crafted by the business selling it. Even our prepared food vendors are encouraged to source ingredients locally, supporting other nearby farms and food producers.

The Seven Hills Farmers Market creates economic opportunities for local growers and artisans, while offering consumers a convenient, trustworthy source of seasonal, locally-grown foods. Beyond nutrition, shopping at the Market means you’re supporting local farmers and small businesses, helping to strengthen our community.

The market is kid-friendly and a great family outing! Kids get to see fresh fruits, vegetables, and other products up close, meet the farmers and vendors, and understand that food doesn’t just come from a grocery store; it’s grown, cared for and created by real people. With a few dollars to spend, they can practice budgeting by making their own choices and transactions, while learning to interact politely with the vendors. A visit to the market also might encourage kids to taste something new.

The personal connections forged over the years between our vendors and customers are truly invaluable. Our vendors are deeply committed not only to the quality of their products but also to building genuine relationships with the people they serve. Pride in their work is clear in every facet of their operations. Being part of the community is something our vendors deeply value. They are approachable, friendly, and eager to share their growing or creating processes. These interactions help build trust and understanding, enriching the experience for everyone involved.

Our vendors embody compassion, dedication, and a strong work ethic. The sense of community among them fosters a mutually supporting spirit that is evident to customers at every market. These moments of connection offer a meaningful glimpse into the dedication and camaraderie that define the Seven Hills Farmers Market.

Support local, connect with neighbors, and experience the best of summer at The Seven Hills Farmers Market!
