The first Dublin Farmers Market is set for 4:30 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at Dublin Community Church, 81 W. Bridge St.

"We're still on target for June 24," said TehKu Tea Company owner Inggrie Merriman, who has been trying to establish a farmers market in Dublin for two years.

"We're going to be at the Dublin Community Church parking lot," she said.

Eric Leslie, president of the Historic Dublin Business Association, represents the HDBA on the committee that has been working to establish the farmers market. Although there have been efforts in the past to place farmers around Historic Dublin to sell produce, this will be the first farmers market, he said.

"This is the very first time that we have made a concerted effort to put a farmers market over at Dublin Community Church," Leslie said.

As of last week farmers and other merchants still were being recruited for the event, but Merriman said Wayward Seed Farm, Snowville Creamery and others will be there.

"We're really look for support for the farmers market so it can grow," she said. "We want a variety of dairy, honey, fresh produce. We're trying to get baked goods and meat. We want to try to get a good variety so people can do their shopping mid-week at the farmers market."

Wayward Seed Farm, which operates in a few counties around the state, produces organic produce and can be found at farmers markets around Columbus.

Snowville Creamery bottles milk on its southeastern Ohio farm and delivers it to farmers markets and stores around the state. The farm doesn't use pesticides, herbicides or growth hormones, and minimally processes its milk, the farm's Web site said.

According to Merriman, Wayward Seed Farm has subscription packages that offer fresh produce throughout the summer. Dublin residents with subscriptions with Wayward Seed Farm might be able to arrange to pick up their fresh produce in Dublin instead of other markets.

"We're encouraging the community to find out more about how they can support agriculture," Merriman said.

The list of vendors might be short as the market starts out, but both Merriman and Leslie said they're striving to offer the best products possible.

"We're being very particular and making it a premium farmers market," Leslie said. "We're starting with a high-quality product. Not just anyone can come and sell here."

Merriman said plans are to hold the market every Wednesday until the end of October.
