Erin Harvey, general manager of the Keller Market House walks to her office to get paperwork for one of her vendors while Rebecca Hodo, a Market House employee updates the event board.

Food production in Southeast Ohio is experiencing a sort of renaissance of authentic quality, with a new focus on locally sourced, fresh, seasonal options. The Keller Market House, located in historic downtown Lancaster, is a year-round marketplace featuring such food and goods. The shop opened its doors in May of 2016, after a 2011 survey revealed an overwhelming interest in the community to create a local food hub.
