A community market and gathering place coming to downtown Bedford, OH.
Lake Effect Market is a new community market being created in downtown Bedford. We’re bringing together natural foods, local producers, artists, makers, and neighbors in a welcoming space built around food, creativity, and community connection.
Every market starts with people who believe in the idea. Help us transform a historic downtown building into a vibrant community market that supports local food, local makers, and stronger local connections.
Help launch Lake Effect Market and be recognized as one of the community members who helped bring it to life.
We’re seeking farmers, food producers, artists, makers, and small businesses who share our vision for a vibrant local marketplace.
Have practical skills, creative energy, professional experience, or occasional time to offer? Tell us how you may be able to help.
Artists and creatives are invited to help shape the look, feel, and character of Lake Effect Market.
Organizations, businesses, schools, nonprofits, and civic groups can help strengthen the market through collaboration, resources, programs, and shared community work.
