Dublin Farmers' Market: June 1st

Double Your Dollars at the Dublin Farmers' Market 

With support of the City of Columbus, the Franklin County Commissioner, Wholesome Wave, and the Puffin Foundation, Veggie SNAPS provides individuals enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) with a monetary incentive to purchase produce at the Dublin Farmers' Market.

Veggie SNAPS has benefits to shoppers and growers alike. They allow more customers the opportunity to purchase the healthy, locally-grown ingredients that had previously been cost-prohibitive. Additionally, increased sales to new customers also make both growers and farmers’ markets more economically viable.

For more information, visit the market information tent.

Dublin Farmers' Market: May 25th

"We're really proud of it. It's a lot of work, but we are glad when people are happy and come back." 

Jennifer Picklesimon, We're All Connected

Jammin' in the Kitchen

"Mother and daughter team Bev and Jennifer Picklesimon began making homemade jams for family members.
Then, some of their co-workers at Ashland in Dublin had tried some of their homemade creations and began buying them so, "We thought why not sell at the farmers market," Jennifer Picklesimon said.

We want your opinion!

Tell us what you think! 

This survey is for anyone in central Ohio who buys and eats vegetables, regardless of where you shop. If you buy veggies at the grocery or at the farmers market or anywhere in between, we want to hear from you! Please consider donating ten minutes of your time to share more about you.

Here’s how you can help :


This market research is being conducted by Great River Organics, a farmer-owned cooperative here in Central Ohio. This is Phase II of a market research study funded by a Local Food Promotion Program grant from the USDA.

Dublin Farmers' Market: May 18th

"I think it's one of the most important battles for consumers to fight: the right to know what's in their food, and how it was grown."

Joel Salatin

Is it all in a label? 

Labels are...confusing? Ambiguous? Misleading? Helpful? The answer depends on how much you know!

In an effort to help, National Geographic recently posted "An Eater's Guide to Food Labels."

Natural
Natural is not regulated or defined by the FDA, so the term can be applied freely to most processed foods or drinks. Meat, poultry, or eggs labeled “natural,” on the other hand, have to be natural.

Non-GMO or GE-free
If you care about whether your food contains genetically engineered ingredients, look to third-party certifications such as the Non-GMO project, buy USDA-certified “Organic,” or buy your groceries in Vermont starting this summer.

Certified organic
With a few exceptions, the agriculture department’s organic label means what it says.

Cage-free, free range, or free-roaming chickens/eggs
Look for the organic label, or GET TO KNOW a local egg farmer from your FARMERS MARKET.

Farm fresh or farm-to-fork 
If you want “farm fresh” food, know your farmers market vendors. If someone is selling you pineapple in Maine in February and calling it farm fresh, ask questions.

Dubiln Farmers' Market: May 11th

"Anyone who imagines that all fruits ripen at the same time as the strawberries knows nothing about grapes."

Paracelsus

It's strawberry season!


Packed with vitamins, fiber, and particularly high levels of antioxidants known as polyphenols, strawberries are a sodium-free, fat-free, cholesterol-free, low-calorie food. They are among the top 20 fruits in antioxidant capacity and are a good source of manganese and potassium. Just one serving -- about eight strawberries -- provides more vitamin C than an orange.

Come and get 'em! Rhoads Farm will be at market today with the first (small) strawberry harvest.
