Cleveland- GREEN City

Cleveland.com has been reporting on some great Cleveland news all week, but especially great to me was the recap on Cleveland Farmers Markets in 2010. Living away from Cleveland for six years, in much bigger urban environments, it was sometimes hard to find great local produce (even more so on the cheap).
So I loved hearing that Cleveland is now a top contender in most farmers markets in the nation. Here is a quote from Cleveland.com :
The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently updated its national list of farmers markets, Ohio ranked the seventh highest in overall number of registered markets at 213, and sixth in the top list of winter markets, with 34. It was also the ninth highest in percentage growth of markets with a 36 percent growth from 2009 to this year.

Its really great news knowing Clevelanders can eat local, fresh, and affordable all year long. On that note, its lunch time here....
