Clintonville Farmers' Market — Local services in Columbus

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. They did however have a lot of great vendors that were unique and they really hit on pretty much every aspect of a Farmers Market. From having fresh produce to fresh eggs and fresh proteins oh, there were also some natural soap options and there was a really cool booth that offer different sauces and spices. Of course when it comes to a farmers market prices can vary sometimes a little bit higher but I think because of the fact that it is local and you're giving back to the local community and cutting out that middleman it absolutely is worth every dime. They do have a program there where they accept the EBT cards. Which I think is awesome because everybody should have access to local food sources that aren't just a grocery store.

Really recommended if you're in the area even if you have to drive down from you no burb...

The atmosphere seemed nice and I thought we were supporting family businesses and small farms and our own health by shopping here but I came with a friend who is a member of the health department who stoped and talked with her coworker to report that several of the booths we had passed were not following standards. 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...

Farmers' 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...
