Bexley Farmers' Market: June 2nd

Double Your Dollars at the Bexley Farmers' Market 

With support of the City of Columbus, the Franklin County Commissioner, Wholesome Wave, and the Puffin Foundation, Veggie SNAPS provides individuals enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) with a monetary incentive to purchase produce at the Bexley Farmers' Market.

Veggie SNAPS has benefits to shoppers and growers alike. They allow more customers the opportunity to purchase the healthy, locally-grown ingredients that had previously been cost-prohibitive. Additionally, increased sales to new customers also make both growers and farmers’ markets more economically viable.

Bexley Farmers' Market: May 26th

And the winner is... 

Congratulations, Jan Kanas! Jan is the lucky winner of a bottle of the famous Bexley Maple Syrup.

Is it all in a label? 

Labels are...confusing? Ambiguous? Misleading? Helpful? The answer depends on how much you know!

In an effort to help, National Geographic recently posted "An Eater's Guide to Food Labels."

Natural
Natural is not regulated or defined by the FDA, so the term can be applied freely to most processed foods or drinks. Meat, poultry, or eggs labeled “natural,” on the other hand, have to be natural.

Non-GMO or GE-free
If you care about whether your food contains genetically engineered ingredients, look to third-party certifications such as the Non-GMO project, buy USDA-certified “Organic,” or buy your groceries in Vermont starting this summer.

Certified organic 
With a few exceptions, the agriculture department’s organic label means what it says.

Cage-free, free range, or free-roaming chickens/eggs
Look for the organic label, or GET TO KNOW a local egg farmer from your FARMERS MARKET.

Farm fresh or farm-to-fork 
If you want “farm fresh” food, know your farmers market vendors. If someone is selling you pineapple in Maine in February and calling it farm fresh, ask questions.

Thank you!

What an amazing opening day! A HUGE thank you to Mother Nature for providing a beautiful day, to the City of Bexley for their help in making this move a smooth one, and to each of you for your continued support of the Bexley Farmers' Market!

Tell us what you think! 

And now it's time for a survey. This survey is for anyone in central Ohio who buys and eats vegetables, regardless of where you shop. If you buy veggies at the grocery or at the farmers market or anywhere in between, we want to hear from you! Please consider donating ten minutes of your time to share more about you.

Here’s how you can help :

• Click this link to take an anonymous survey. Allow yourself about 10 minutes.
• Forward the survey link (or the entire email) to others. 
• Share the survey link on your social media profiles. 

This market research is being conducted by Great River Organics, a farmer-owned cooperative here in Central Ohio. This is Phase II of a market research study funded by a Local Food Promotion Program grant from the USDA.

We'll see you next Thursday at 4:00 PM! 

Bexley Farmers' Market: OPENING DAY!

Bexley Farmers' Market Moves to Dawson this Thursday, May 19th!

First Market Day is May 19th
Every Thursday from 4:00 to 7:00 pm through October

With this move, the Bexley Farmers' Market will be more accessible and within walking distance for many more residents, and will provide a better experience for visitors and vendors alike. Expect your favorite vendors to return, such as Dan the Baker, Hirsch Fruit Farm, and Bexley residents, Sweet Thing Gourmet, among others! Enjoy fresh-from-farm produce and meat, jams and jellies, bread and much more, along with live music from David Austin Sky, this Thursday, May 19 and continuing on Thursday nights until the end of October.

A note about the new location: the Farmers' Market is relocating to the block of Dawson between Main and Sherwood. During Farmers' Market hours, the block will be closed off, and users of the Market will be able to enjoy a more central location with better tree shade and a more linear layout. Users of the Market are encouraged to bike or walk to market when able, but when driving we ask that users park north of Main Street to keep congestion on Main to a minimum. Parking within one block of the market offers a 5x increase in market parking from the previous location, so there should be plenty of parking for market goers!

And the rumors about a bottle of the famous Bexley Maple Syrup from Mayor Kessler being raffled off at the first market? Yep, they're true!
