Worthington Farmers Market: January 26th

"Innovations that are guided by smallholder farmers, adapted to local circumstances, and sustainable for the economy and environment will be necessary to ensure food security in the future."

Bill Gates


Did you know the Healthy Worthington Resource Center & Food Pantry is at the market every week? The Healthy Worthington Resource Center & Food Pantry is a volunteer organization driven by compassion to serve the community. They distribute food and personal items to individuals or families in need, as well as provide assistance and referral information for educational opportunities and authorized resources -- all to people within the Worthington area.

Help us feed our neighbors! This week's three biggest needs are canned diced tomatoes, pineapple, and spinach. Please consider bringing a canned food item to market, or simply donate cash to the Healthy Worthington Resource Center & Food Pantry.

WEATHER REMINDER: In cases of inclement weather, the market is CLOSED if Franklin County is declared a “Level 3 Snow Emergency.” If a “Level 2 Snow Emergency” is issued in Franklin County, participation is at the discretion of the vendor. Unless it's a "Level 3," we're OPEN, so come out and support your vendors!

Worthington Farmers Market: January 12th

“I am not a glutton--I am an explorer of food”

Erma Bombeck


Take your connection to the market one step further and volunteer at the Worthington Farmers Market! Join the Friends of the Market next Saturday, January 19th from 10am to 1pm for our biannual volunteer information day.

Need a reason to volunteer? How about five of them:

1. Get to know our vendors. At a farmers market you can get to know the people who grow, raise, bake, preserve and prepare your food. You'll learn their names, where they do their work, and what life is like for them. And they get to know you too!

2. Make new friends. Studies show that you're 10 times more likely to have a meaningful conversation at a farmers market than at a regular grocery store. We're sure you'll have plenty to talk about with like-minded volunteers.

3. Give back to your community. Community service and volunteerism are an investment in our community and the people who live in it.

4. Get out of the house. Volunteering at a farmers market can be a chore--or it can be a splendid experience in a colorful and friendly environment. At the Worthington Farmers Market, it's the latter of the two!

5. Understand what local means. Part of the pleasure of volunteering (and shopping) at your local market is developing an appreciation of fresh, local foods at the height of their natural season.

We look forward to meeting you!

Worthington Farmers Market: January 5th

"Dinner was made for eating, not for talking."

William Makepeace Thackeray

Happy New Year!


Of all the New Year resolutions, the top three are (1) spending more time with friends and family, (2) getting more fit, and (3) eating healthier. Sound familiar?

Visit the Worthington Farmers Market, and let us help you be successful in the new year! How? Here are a few ideas...
  • Consider walking to the market. Live in the neighborhood? Research shows that regular, brisk walking can reduce the risk of heart attack by the same amount as more vigorous exercise, such as jogging.
  • Make the farmers market a family experience. Encourage your children to try different foods. Trying samples is a great way to introduce your child to new foods without having to actually buy them, only to find out that your child doesn’t like it. It’s also a great way to work on your child’s manners--38 booths, 38 times to work on saying “please” and “thank you.”
  • Become a member of a farm family--join a CSA. What is CSA? It stands for Community Supported Agriculture, and you can develop a relationship with the farmer who grows your food and learn more about how food is grown.
  • Eat your veggies! Using local foods will inspire you to prepare healthy, plant-based meals that are low in calories and high in nutrients.
