BUCYRUS, OH (CRAWFORD COUNTY NOW)—As September arrives and a crispness enters the air, Bucyrus is celebrating the change of seasons with a focus on local traditions and flavors. This month, the community is highlighting the theme of “Apples & Ale,” a perfect pairing of local farm-fresh goods and craft beverages.
The celebration encourages residents and visitors to explore local markets and shops, embracing the sweet and savory tastes of autumn. According to a local community initiative, the theme offers a way to “gather, taste, and explore” the season.
A key destination for fall flavors is the Bucyrus Farmers Market. The market, located at the Family Farm & Home parking lot at 2460 E Mansfield St., provides an opportunity to purchase farm-fresh produce directly from local growers. It is typically open on Saturday mornings, offering a wide variety of seasonal fruits, vegetables, and homemade products.
For those seeking fresh-from-the-orchard apples and other fall treats, Cooper’s Mill & Market, located at 1414 N. Sandusky Ave., is a well-known local hub. The market is celebrated for its homemade jams, jellies, and apple butter, which are still made in the traditional way with locally sourced apples. The Pickwick Place, a short drive from Bucyrus, also offers a market with locally sourced produce, U-pick apples, and various fall activities throughout the month of September.
On the “ale” side of the celebration, establishments like the Bucyrus Taphouse are highlighted as places to enjoy local craft brews and unwind with friends and family. The initiative aims to showcase how local orchards, markets, and taphouses all contribute to the festive, community-driven atmosphere of fall in Bucyrus.
September events and activities are a time to enjoy fall festivals and support local businesses, from shops with seasonal decor to local spots offering a perfect pint. The community celebrates the “flavors, fun, and feeling of fall,” inviting everyone to savor the moment.
