About Bexley
Bexley is one of Columbus’ oldest suburbs, located on the near East side of downtown. It is an established community that is constantly evolving. The city has a commitment to excellence and maintains its old time charm while promoting progress. Bexley’s own rapidly developing Main Street commercial corridor welcomes residents and visitors to the historic Drexel Theatre, wide-ranging dining options, art venues, and unique shopping destinations. Adding a farmers’ market to the Main Street corridor further enhances this mix.
 
The quality of life in Bexley includes:
  • a well-educated, engaged, multi-generational, and diverse populace
  • nine churches and five synagogues
  • a stable, established, and responsive municipality
  • a long tradition of excellence within the Bexley Public Schools
The Bexley Farmers' Market is looking for a vibrant and diverse mix of local farmers and food artisans. To be considered a potential market vendor, please email us at info@bexleyfarmersmarket.com. Applications are due by Wednesday, February 29th.
If you have any questions, please contact Market Manager, Jaime Moore at (614) 327-0102 or email us at info@bexleyfarmersmarket.com.
