TWO Great Events! Plan Ahead for Parking. It's a Very Berry Time. Treats for Dad.
This Saturday in Worthington we have TWO great events happening side-by-side. The Worthington Farmers Market will be set up as usual throughout Old Worthington (with a few vendor relocations) from 8am to noon, and we’ll be welcoming the Worthington Arts Festival to the historic district on the four quadrants of the Village Green! The Arts Festival will run from 9am - 5pm on Saturday, June 15, and 11am - 5pm on Sunday, June 16.
THIS WEEK’S PARTICIPATING VENDORS
MARKET MAP
Parking at the Market
Plan to arrive early for best parking availability. There are several public parking lots in the area (noted on the market map above) and at the Griswold Center, the United Methodist Church, and Fresh Thyme.
There will be shuttle service available throughout the Arts Festival. Park at the Anthem building (6700 High Street) and catch the shuttle!
Please note the United Midwest Savings Bank at 547 High Street (corner of High & South Streets) is now open on Saturday mornings with their parking lot reserved for customers and employees of the bank.
Please respect all No Parking signs throughout the market area. Thank you!

Veggie Spy & Versatile Vegan
It’s Blueberry Time!
Blueberry fans should check out this week’s Market since The Blueberry Patch will be making their debut for the season, and Gillogly Orchard and Mayapple Farms will have the beginnings of their blueberry crops. But don’t delay, blueberries sell out fast! Looking for a creative blueberry recipe? The Versatile Vegan says you’ll get all starry-eyed over this Dreamy Vegan Blueberry Oat Milk Pound Cake.
In other fruit highlights, Oakleaf will have the first of their sweet cherries. Moreland Fruit Farm has both red and yellow raspberries, and Franklinton Farms has black ones. The Versatile Vegan loves raspberry mouse and suggests this recipe. Mayapple Farms will have the last of their goumi berries (not to be confused with goji berries), a shrub from East Asia whose fruit is both sweet and tart when ripe. They do not transport well and are hard to find in North America, so get ‘em while they last!
Other Market finds include zucchini from Raber Family Organics, black currants from Franklinton Farms, carrots from Drift Hills, cucumbers from 9N Farm, asparagus from Cottage Garden, and possibly eggplant from Rock Dove.

A Reminder to BYOWB
As summer temperatures climb, we encourage you to stay hydrated during your visit to the market! Remember to BYOWB (that's bring your own water bottle) and refill it at the The Worthington Partnership Green Team's water bottle filling station and drinking fountain located on the Southwest Village Green. In order to reduce our plastic waste, the Market is no longer selling bottled water.
Thank you to the City of Worthington Government for supporting us on this sustainability project and thank you to The Worthington Partnership Green Team for working so hard to raise the funds to make it happen!
Pick up a WFM 24-oz stainless steel water bottle (not shown here) at the information booth for only $3.00!
