Worthington Farmers Market is Eye Candy for the Soul

-posted by Jayne

What a beautiful cool week we’ve had here in Central Ohio. Market was perfect yesterday… happy customers, flowers in every corner, and an abundance of tomatoes, eggplants, melons, sweet corn… you name it, Worthington Farmer’s Market has it.

Sister in law Becky and her husband Justin from Tilley Farmstand unleashed their new special “mixed quarts”- pizza mix, stir fry mix, and salsa mix. One of the best deals you’ll find at market!

Sara and Jess are happy to help customers make that mountain of beets disappear.

Here on the home front we made some progress on the new barn. Isaac finally decided trying to do it all by himself was not the wisest choice and rented a truck (and some friends) to help put the trusses on. It’s looking good. He thinks it’s for hay, but I know we are really building it to host square dances.

Yesterday at market I had conversations with two separate customers who mentioned their dogs love honey. One had an older dog who didn’t eat very well unless she drizzled a little honey on top. The other customer had a dog with allergies, and used the honey to attempt to ward off the dog’s allergies. Our new dog Buddy confirmed that dogs+honey = happiness, as yesterday afternoon I found Buddy in the yard chomping on a honeystick. He actually did an impressive job getting the honey out of the stick. Hopefully he doesn’t figure out there is a self-serve stand right there in his yard.

Honeysticks are “Buddy approved.”
