Bexley Farmers' Market: July 26th

“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 was our very own Kathy Rhoads from Rhoads 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.

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

And this week, Bleu & Fig joins us for a delicious and seasonal cooking demonstration--Watermelon Gazpacho!

Bexley Farmers' Market: July 19th

“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.
