Seville Farmers Market

A sunny, blue morning ... a lovely setting around the Stanhope Park gazebo ... vendors with tables full of handmade goods, delicious foods, flowers and produce ... and lots of supportive customers! In other words, it was a perfect opening day for the Seville Farm Market. Thanks to all the vendors who worked so hard over the past six months creating, planting and planning to make the market a reality. We're especially grateful to our sponsor, The Seville Lions Club, whose president, Chuck Boomhower , was on hand to supply coffee and donuts for a donation to support the group's civic projects. Most of all, thanks to ALL OF YOU who came out to shop for fresh, locally grown food, tasty baked goods, and one-of-a-kind items. Remember, the Seville Farm Market takes place rain or shine, from 9 a.m. to noon. We'll be back this Saturday with more! On July 4, we're honored to present the music of local singer-songwriter Jim Gill. So start your Independence Day with a trip to the ...

One of the unique offerings of the Seville Farm Market will be handmade furniture by Seville craftsman Carl Perry. If his excellent workmanship wasn't enough, Carl also harvests much of the lumber he uses in his woodworking projects. Pictured below are a few of his pieces you can expect to see. At top left, a cherry medicine cabinet. At top right, an end table, also made of cherry. Below, a flip-top table. Come to the Seville Farm Market to meet Carl and he can tell you the story of his furniture -- from the tree, to his workshop, to your home.

Start your Independence Day with a trip to the Seville Farm Market for fresh produce, baked goods ... and the music of singer-songwriter Jim Gill. Jim is one of Northeast Ohio's premiere performers -- touring the country and sharing the stage with folk star John Gorka and Cleveland legend Michael Stanley. In 2008, he released his fifth CD, "Jim Gill Live: Vol. II." But don't just take our word for it. Here's what Cleveland Plain Dealer Music Critic John Soeder has to say: "Jim Gill brings a bright new voice to the Ohio music scene. This gifted singer-songwriter grabs your ear and doesn't let go, whether he's delivering hard-hitting tunes about the world around us or heartfelt personal ballads. He's a captivating performer, too -- so don't miss a chance to catch Jim Gill in concert!" A Westfield Center resident, Jim is graciously taking time from his performance schedule -- and on a holiday, to boot -- to support the Seville Farm Market. F...
