There is absolutely plenty of parking as it is located at the Ohio Historical Society down by the Ohio State fairgrounds. It is free to get into oh, which makes it nice. Well I've only been there once I did feel that there could have been more vendors I don't know if maybe that had something to do with the weather that day. But I definitely would have liked to seen a variety of vendors and definitely more considering the amount of space that they had.

The co-worker didn't want to deal with it because she had already spent AN HOUR trying to make another booth follow health and safety codes and the was only 30 minutes left and it wasn't worth trying to make them follow regulations. No one in the health and safety department wants to work the farmers market because it is hard to make sure that everyone has a permit and is following health and safety codes. PLEASE make sure that who ever you buy from is following the regulations for your health and safety and for the health and safety of everyone who...
Read moreFarmers' markets are expensive because they have to get up in the middle of the night, drive there to set up booth, etc. Their overhead is so much higher than for grocery stores. Most of the time, the quality of their food is really exceptional. I frequent farmers' markets because the superior food makes me really happy.
Worthington has the largest farmers' market in central Ohio, but Worthington has decaying, decrepite sidewalks. As an invalid, I just can't negotiate Worthington Farmers' Market. Many of the Worthington sellers are also at...
