PARMA, Ohio — The Homestead Hoofers 4-H club invites the public to Potential Buyer Night May 3 from 6-8 p.m. at Stearns Homestead, a historic working farm located in Parma, Ohio.
This event is a celebration of youth, agriculture, and community — where guests can meet 4-H members who are raising livestock not in the countryside, but in the middle of an urban setting. From market hogs to rabbits, poultry to steer, these youth have taken on the challenge of raising animals with care, discipline, and pride, all while balancing the demands of city life.
Potential Buyer Night gives visitors the chance to explore the farm, talk directly with the youth and learn firsthand what it means to raise and care for livestock. Attendees can even sample farm-fresh bites, such as savory meatballs and hearty chicken pot pie, offering a true taste of what these young agriculturalists have been working so hard to produce.
The evening also serves as a preview of the Junior Fair Market Auction, a cornerstone event of the Cuyahoga County Fair, taking place this year Aug. 9 at 6:30 p.m.
