Beets in Every Color!

Fall colors are here: yellow, orange and red beets are ready for the taking at the North Union Farmers’ Market Saturdays at Shaker Square. All the produce is fresh and locally-grown.

The market only allows “certified producer only” which means that every farmer agrees to sell only food they’ve raised themselves or items made locally. There are 8 outdoor and two winter markets in Northeast Ohio. Besides Shaker Square, you can pick up fresh produce in Crocker Park, Cleveland Clinic Main Campus and Beachwood, Chagrin Falls, Playhouse Square, and University Hospitals.

For more about their markets, visit NUFarmersMarket.

Here’s one of our favorite beet recipes:
