“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.”
Virginia Woolf
Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 18th and come swap your homemade food goods. Join your Columbus neighbors for the first Eastside Food Swap.
What's a food swap? A food swap is an event where a bunch of people bring homemade foods (mostly preserved or otherwise storable foods) to barter for other people's homemade foods. For example, you might have gone overboard and made 10 jars of strawberry jam and you're thinking, "What am I going to do with all this strawberry jam?" Your neighbor is thinking, "What am I going to do with these 10 bottles of tarragon flavored vinegar?" If you both bring half your jars to the food swap and switch them out for foods you want, everybody wins!

Bexley Farmers' Market: July 5th
Happy Independence Day!
Take your connection to the market one step further--volunteer at the Bexley Farmers' Market!
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 market goers.
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 outside! Volunteering at a farmers market can be a chore--or it can be a splendid, outdoor experience in a colorful friendly environment. At the Bexley 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.

Bexley Farmers' Market: June 28th
One of the secrets, and pleasures, of cooking is to learn to correct something if it goes awry; and one of the lessons is to grin and bear it if it cannot be fixed.
Julia Child
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:

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.

Bexley Farmers' Market: June 14th
When a man's stomach is full it makes no difference whether he is rich or poor.
Euripides
Market season is in full swing! Here are five tips for getting the most from your farmers' market:
Bring your own bags and baskets. By bringing your own bags, you reduce waste at the market and in your own home.
Bring cash and small bills. By bringing cash and – specifically – small bills, you keep money in your farmer’s pocket and you make it easier for him to make change for the masses of folks who bring nothing but $20 bills from the nearby ATM.
Go early, but not too early. The best stuff goes fast. A farmer may only have a single flat of ripe, juicy blackberries or a couple of pounds of fresh green peas, so arrive early to make sure you get the best pick of the market’s high-demand, seasonal fruits and vegetables.
Ask questions. When you're at the Bexley Farmers' Market, you're talking with the person who grew the food, or one that works on the farm. Take the time to ask questions. What are your cows eating? Are your vegetables organic? Is your farm ever open to the public? Do you grow what you sell? Ask questions.
Know the crop calendar. If you want to eat in season, you need to respect the seasons. Part of the pleasure of shopping at your local market is developing an appreciation of fresh, local foods at the height of their natural season.
