The Worthington Farmer’s Market has settled into a new location for the 2020 Summer season, due to COVID restrictions. The new walk-up market features a one-way route, with limited amounts of shoppers entering to allow for social distancing. Park at 500 W. Wilson Bridge Road, and follow the signs to the entrance. You will find our booth about half way down on the left, in the “honey and maple syrup” section. You are still welcome to pre-order for pickup, but we’ll also make sure to bring plenty of our regular items for you to purchase if you forget to pre-order.

Market Hours:

8am-9am: Reserved for high-risk and vulnerable shoppers (senior citizens, immune-compromised, etc.) Masks are REQUIRED when shopping during this first hour.

9am-12pm: All shoppers are welcome and strongly encouraged to wear a facial covering in support of the health of vendors, volunteers, staff and other customers.

In other news- I turned 40 this week, and upon return from a girls getaway weekend with some friends, I was gifted 4 beautiful Yorkshire pigs. I’ve been hinting to Isaac for the past few years that I wanted to raise pigs and I suppose turning 40 was a big enough occasion to warrant the work required to build a new sturdy pen. We’ve already had a great time watching them root up our backyard, and the daily chase to get them back in the pen when they find a way to escape (which has happened twice in the last 2 days!)

And the most important news of the week- we have freshly harvested Spring honey for sale! You can find it at the Worthington Farmer’s Market, at our farmstand here on Randle Road, as well as in the grocery stores that carry our honey. Find the complete list here.
