Bexley Farmers' Market: May 31


Do You Eat Enough Fruits and Vegetables? 


According to the CDC, probably not! Read more in, "Nine in Ten American Adults Don’t Eat Enough Fruits and Vegetables."

Last fall, the Center for Disease Control released a study finding that, "...a paltry 9 percent of people consume the vegetable recommendations, and an only slightly better 21 percent get enough fruit."

Question is, do you know what a daily serving is?

"Dietary guidelines recommend between 1.5 and 2 cups per day of fruit, and 2 to 3 cups per day of vegetables. (The variation is due to gender and age.)"

Luckily, the Bexley Farmers' Market is here for you! 
Join us every Thursday from 4-7 PM on Dawson between Main and Sherwood.

Bexley Farmers' Market Opening Day: May 24


The Bexley Farmers' Market opens every year with fanfare and excitement. And this year is no different! 

We are excited to introduce new producers, an enhancement to our Produce Perks program and other great events throughout the season.

New Producers
The Bexley Farmers' Market received an incredible number of new applications for the 2018 season. While we wish we could welcome all of them, we are excited to announce seven of them as new members of our market community. 

Help us welcome Brown Bros. Farm, Crystal Creek Farm, Omega Bun, Harriet Gardens, The Waffle Hub, Seven Continents Cookies, and Grassroots Graziers! 

Produce Perks
We believe poverty should not be a barrier to healthy foods. That's why the Bexley Farmers' Market has been a proud supporter and participant in the Ohio Nutrition Incentive Network, Produce Perks (formerly known as Veggie SNAPS). 

New this season, Produce Perks doubles the purchasing power for Ohio Direction Card cardholders to $20 – providing a $1 for $1 match for families and individuals to spend on healthy foods. 

Events
Stay tuned for children's activities and sample days throughout the season.
