Olde Worthington Farmers Market: July 28th

“If you eat, you’re involved in agriculture.”

Wendell Berry


On Tuesday, July 24th, Ohio First Lady Karen W. Kasich and Ohio Agriculture Director David T. Daniels recognized Women in Ohio Agriculture at the Governor's Residence in Bexley, Ohio.

“These Ohio women have had an incredible impact on our state’s largest industry,” said Mrs. Kasich, who announced the creation of the award during last year’s Ohio State Fair. “It is an honor to recognize them today for their strength, leadership, and outstanding contributions.”

Among the nominees were our very own Kathy Rhoads from Rhoads Farm and Eddie Lou Meimer from Pleiades Farm.

Rhoads Farm has been a fixture in the central Ohio community since 1958, and Kathy is a true agricultural advocate. Read more about Kathy and Rhoads Farm in the Spring 2011 issue of Edible Columbus.

Named in honor of his seven daughters, Eddie Lou's grandfather purchased Pleiades Farm in the late 19th century. Today, Meimer is an active advocate and participant in farmers' markets, the dairy industry, and agriculture in general. Read more about Eddie Lou and Pleiades Farm in Our Ohio.

To Kathy and Eddie Lou, and all the women in agriculture, congratulations and THANK YOU!

Olde Worthington Farmer Market: July 7th

Summer can officially begin... SWEET CORN is here!

There are dozens of ways to cook sweet corn, and most of us have our preferred method, but how about things you shouldn't do to corn? Here are three things you should not do when cooking sweet corn:

  • Don't add salt to the water. It only toughens the corn when it cooks.
  • Don't cool off hot corn by running under cold water. It will make the corn soggy.
  • Don't overcook or the kernels will get hard and the corn will loose some of its sweet flavor.

Visit the Olde Worthington Farmers Market for your first taste of summer!

Our vendors for Saturday, July 7th (in both alphabetical and numerical order) include:

NOTE: As we start to add more vendors, you'll find that a few of your favorites have moved. Find Luna Burger, Rhoads Farm, and Sippel Family Farm on the Southwest corner of the market.
