Come Early for Eggs!

Farm fresh eggs are undoubtedly one of the most popular market products. Arriving early helps ensure you find them -- and especially as the weather cools and egg production slows. In order to consistently lay eggs, hens need about 16 hours of daylight and 8 hours of darkness when they're roosting. Once less than 12 hours of daylight is available, egg production decreases considerably.

Compost That Pumpkin!


Pumpkins are not accepted in your yard waste because the seeds do not always rot in the average temperatures of a regular compost pile. Pumpkins will sprout anywhere the resulting soil is used. Commercial compost reaches higher temperatures and the seeds rot into nutrient rich soil. As a fruit a pumpkin is accepted in The Compost Exchange commercial compost collections.


Remember though, no paint, no candle stubs, and no other foreign materials! Add your pumpkins to your curbside pick up or drop off at the Compost Exchange stand at the Worthington Farmer’s Market.


Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio - SWACO also has drop off locations in participating cities.

 

Veggie Spy & Versatile Vegan

What the Heck Do I Do with That?!

Even in November you’ll find a wide variety (dare I say cornucopia?) of veggies at the Market. And that includes produce that looks familiar but may be a mystery in terms of taste and preparation. Expand your vegetable comfort zone and try some of these items - the Versatile Vegan will make it easy!


Fennel, or sweet anise, is in the carrot family and known for its licorice-like, slightly nutty flavor. It can be eaten raw or cooked. The Versatile Vegan suggests getting potatoes at the Market and make this Roasted Fennel and Potato Soup. Get fennel at Rock Dove and Franklinton Farms.







Leeks are in the onion family and look like green onions with much wider, thicker, and denser leaves. Raw leeks have a tender, somewhat grassy taste. When cooked, they are creamy and buttery with a subtle flavor. The VV likes to combine leeks with fennel in this Caramelized Fennel, Leek & Onion Gratin. Leeks are available at Raber Family Organics and Franklinton Farms.




Celeriac, an ugly veggie with bumps and hairy roots, is the root of a celery plant. It has a bit of celery flavor and an earthy taste. Celeriac recipes are as rare as the veggie itself, fortunately the VV has uncovered this hearty Celeriac Soup with Pearl Barley. Appreciate celeriac’s ugliness first hand at Franklinton Farms!






Turmeric is a spice from the roots of a turmeric plant. When grated it is bright orange and is used for both flavoring and coloring curries and soups. It also has multiple medicinal uses including reducing inflammation and improving memory. The VV is a fan of this Chickpea Turmeric Stew. Mayapple Farms has turmeric root.





Other Finds

Several vendors still have tomatoes and peppers. Raber Family Organics has cauliflower, spinach, brussels sprouts, and romaine lettuce. 9N Farm has giant North Georgia honey roaster squash. Toad Hill has several kinds of potatoes. Franklinton Farms has bok choy, yakina savoy, and multiple herbs. Get a variety of mushrooms at Blue Owl and Mayapple Farms.

Note that several producers including Gillogly and Raber will be outside in the south parking lot of The Shops at Worthington Place.

Need Cash? Buy Tokens!


Small, local producers working on thin margins sometimes forego credit cards to avoid the fees. If you don’t have cash, head to the Information Booth where you can buy $5 wood tokens with a credit or debit card. All the vendors take them, they give change back in cash, and the tokens never expire. There is a $1 dollar transaction fee, regardless the amount.


SNAP/EBT Customers: use your Ohio Direction or Ohio P-EBT card to earn FREE Produce Perks to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables and food-bearing plants!

Masks Are Optional

Effective Thursday, March 10, the Worthington city ordinance that required masks in indoor public places has been lifted. Facial coverings are now optional throughout the City of Worthington.


We will have a limited supply of masks available at the Market information desk (located at the corner of S. High Street & New England Avenue in front of the Graeter's Ice Cream and House Wine parking lot), should you wish to wear one while visiting the Market.


We will continue with our other proactive measures to help reduce the spread of illness including having hand sanitizer available throughout the Market and increased spacing between producer booths.


If you have a fever or are feeling ill, we ask that you please stay home.
