“Haymaker Farmers' Market has been an institution on Saturday mornings in Kent for 30 years, said Lizette R. Barton of Barton Farms and a member of the Haymaker Farmers' Market Board of Directors. "As our world seems to speed up, and at times divide, Haymaker continues to be a place where everyone is welcome; where everyone can gather to laugh, build friendships, and buy the best local food in Northeast Ohio.”
