Year-Round Access to Local Foods
The O'Hara Commons believes that one of the most effective ways to strengthen local food systems is through developing food-based programs and partnerships.
We offer year-round access to local foods (a mid-week farmers market during the summer months and a Winter Market food hub during the remainder of the year).
Winter Market
O'Hara was able to develop this online food hub with much support and dedication of over 65 local food growers, producers, volunteers, and local food enthusiasts! This market is a full 'grocery store' experience of local food and value-added products. It is all about community and creating a reliable revenue stream for local agriculture during non-traditional months for Farmers Markets.
'Open': Sundays, 10 am through Wednesday 5 am.
Pick up: Thursday 3 pm - 5:30 pm, or Friday 11 am - noon.

Wednesday Farmers Market
This is a flagship program for O'Hara. We have been running and growing this in-person market for the past decade. What started as a mid-week market for community members to access local food between Hamilton Farmers Market on Saturdays, has become a year-round program (see Winter Market above).
Join us on the lawn, under a canopy of trees with many local food growers, producers, ready-made food, beverages and live music. Tuck your family under a tree and enjoy an afternoon of community.
Every Wednesday.
June - September.
4 pm - 6:30 pm.
