Farm Market and Trade Days

This year marks the 40th year since we lost Rod and his family; an anniversary we wish we didn't have to recognize. But Rod's spirit of community lives on!

Rod's Project Farm Market and Trade Days is in its fourth year and is our main fundraising event.  We're moving venues this year and planning even more community-minded offerings. This year's event will be held at the JW Denver Williams Memorial Park in Wilmington, Ohio on Saturday, June 8 2024 from 10 am to 7 pm.

We currently have over 40 artisan/craft vendors offering home, jewelry, clothing, candles, baked goods, and more confirmed for your early Summer shopping. On-demand food vendors/trucks include Beckers SMASH-tastic Burgers, Our Cakery Cottage (Boba Tea, Bubble refreshers, and various treats), Lytle Creek Foods (burgers, hot dogs, pulled pork and more), The Drip (coffee, teas, lemon aid), and Hot Flash Eats (offering breakfast burritos and more). We're happy to welcome more artisans and unique food offerings so scroll down to sign-up!

For entertainment, a car show will be held until mid-afternoon with music provided by Chazziz DJ Service. Local band Ruby 72 will be taking the community stage afterwards; and we're looking for those who want to show-off their talent; so scroll down to sign-up!

The park has basketball, volleyball, and pickleball courts and appropriate equipment will be provided or you can bring your own!  For  younger attendees, we'll be setting up two bounce houses and a local 4-H group will offer face-painting.

The event is open to the public and admission is free.
