Worthington Farmers Market: September 19th

"I value handmade objects created from materials that are closely related to the natural environment from which they are grown." Howard Peller, Basket Farmer 

Farming willow and making baskets exemplifies the way Howard Peller links an agrarian way of life with an artisanal handcraft. He uses the willow he grows on his farm in Roseville, Ohio to make baskets and garden structures that serve as useful and purposeful objects in everyday life.

Worthington Farmers Market: September 12th

"The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few"

Growing and Harvesting Grains In Your Backyard

Photo Credit: Modern Farmer

"Fruits, herbs, and vegetables get all the attention among gardeners."

"Backyard poultry and goats provide eggs and dairy (and perhaps meat) for some, but what about the staple foods? Wheat, oats, millet, and other grains are actually much easier to grow than most fruits and vegetables, yet we tend to leave those foods to large farms and buy our flour and cornmeal at the grocery store. There is a bit of specialized knowledge needed to grow grains, but there are a couple myths that have turned people off from the idea." 

Learn the in's and out's of growing grains in your backyard! 

It is definitely possible to do this with a little know-how and will power!

Worthington Farmers Market: September 5th

"Never be a food snob. Learn from everyone you meet - the fish guy at your market, the lady at the local diner, farmers, cheese makers. Ask questions, try everything and eat up!"

Rachael Ray
Reasons to Shop at Your Local Farmers Market

Photo Credit: girlaboutcolumbus.com

There is more to shopping at your local farmers markets than buying local. Although this is an excellent attribute to supporting your local farmers markets, a study conducted by the University of Iowa indicates that when we hand over the cash for our coveted and local Cherokee Purples (a fabulous tomato), we are engaged in a lot more than shopping for food.

“The surprise is that there really are a variety of reasons why people go to the farmers market,” said study coauthor Ion Vasi (University of Iowa). Those reasons go beyond the improved freshness and taste of a higher-quality product. In jargon-heavy academia, farmers markets fit into what theorists call “moralized markets.” In common parlance, we might say we’re shopping our values, or, put more politically, voting with our dollar. - The Reasons Why We Shop at Farmers Markets Are Bigger Than Local Food, By: Sarah McColl, for TakePart

Check out the rest of this interesting article to learn more about shopping at your local farmers market!
