Saturday’s market, now on Jefferson Street, features various vendors partnering to produce products.
TIFFIN, OHIO – August 10, 2021 – Several vendors at the Tiffin Seneca Farmers Market are working together to make high quality locally made products for the community. Whether it is creating soaps, juices, or pottery, the vendors come together to support one another at the farmers market. The next market featuring these partnerships is taking place on Saturday, August 14 from 9am-1pm in Downtown Tiffin.
Me & The Boys, LLC have been working with many of the vendors at the farmers market to make soaps with local products.
