What are farmers doing in Worthington, Ohio?
It is part of the unique traditions of this community, which was founded by a group of New Englanders in 1803 and is one of the oldest in Ohio. Each Saturday morning from mid-May to mid-October, a Farmers Market is held, capturing the spirit of earlier days when farmers brought their crops to market.
Worthington's present-day market lines the streets of downtown Old Worthington drawing each Saturday an estimated 5,000 people who are seeking produce grown locally and throughout Ohio.
The market features certified organic farmers and organically grown products, including vegetables, fruit, meats, free-range chickens and eggs, cheese and other dairy products. There are also cut flowers, herbs, large landscape plants, dried flowers and baked goods.
Worthington's Farmer Market is the largest and best-known weekly market in central Ohio. While other neighboring communities have tried to replicate Worthington's market none has matched its charm, spirit and attractiveness to vendors and buyers.
Worthington area residents really value their quality of life and their support of the Farmers Market demonstrates their desire to eat healthy and their concern for the environment.
Many of the market's customers live in the historic village of Worthington and walk to the market and also support the downtown eateries and shops offering unique clothing, gifts and collectibles.
Historic Olde Worthington homes date from the late 1800's to the late 1980's. The Village Green is framed by Evening, Morning, North and South Streets. High Street and Dublin-Granville road are the crossroads of the downtown area. Price points range from $250,000 to $700,000 and include single family homes and condominium residences.
