One of the largest farmers markets anywhere, covering more than 4 acres, virtually any type of food item is available.
Jungle Jim's International Market is Fairfield's claim to fame and most popular tourist attraction, and has been featured on TV. It all began in 1971 with a small road-side produce stand. In 1974 "Jungle" Jim Bonaminio purchased the current property and has kept growing and adding on since. The international part comes from stocking food and drink from around the world. Different ethnicities have long frequented Jungle Jim's because they could get foods and ingredients from their, or their ancestor's, country of origin. The international market is laid out by country; Great Britain, Germany, Japan, Thailand, China, Mexico, etc. There is a seafood department, a soda department with flavors both usual and unusual, a meat department (alligator and ostrich are available), a cheese department with brands from across the US and world, a deli with an olive bar, sushi, large selections of hot sauce and honey, a bakery, a variety of adult beverages, including a beer cave, a cigar bar, regular groceries, a large singing Elvis bear in the candy department, and of course, produce. Their restrooms are award-winning. In the spring, flowers and plants are sold. Prior to COVID-19, there were cooking classes, tours and a small theater in which to watch a movie about the Jungle Jim's story, but I don't know how those have been affected by the pandemic. Part of Jungle Jim's expansion was to add an events center, as well as other businesses on the property. A second location was opened in the Eastgate section of greater Cincinnati in 2012.

Robert Frost was right. The campus and facilities are a cut above. The gym is state of the art. The equestrian facility is walking distance, immediately adjacent to the campus, and well maintained.

My wife and I went to the VOA Museum on a recent Sunday. Their website says to plan on 1 1/2 hours to visit; we were there for 2 1/2. You start with a short video on the history of the VOA, then a docent leads you around the rest of the museum. After that you can stroll around on your own. There are a number of different themes in different sections: the equipment and operation of the VOA, Cincinnati radio pioneer Powell Crosley and his other interests, the history of radio itself, and the history of radio and television in Cincinnati. It was well worth the time.
