The Worthington Farmers Market is back, and we’re indoors! Save the date for Saturday, February 5. The Market will be open from 9am-12pm inside The Shops at Worthington Place (High Street x W. Wilson Bridge Road) in Worthington.
CURRENT PANDEMIC PROTOCOL:
Effective September 16, 2021, the City of Worthington requires facial coverings in all publicly accessible *indoor* locations. Thank you, in advance, for masking up while visiting the Worthington Farmers Market!
Space between vendor booths has increased to ensure maximum aisle width.
Form lines in empty spaces next to booths to allow other pedestrians to pass and keep traffic flowing in the main aisles.
Sanitize your hands often. Hand sanitizer stations will be located throughout the Market space.
Only touch the products that you intend to buy. Or, allow the farmer or food maker to select your products for you.
Pre-ordering for pick-up on Saturday is encouraged to expedite your trip to the Market and to ensure availability of popular items. Place your orders with your favorite producers, then, visit those producer stalls on Saturday morning to pick-up your items from the vendors from whom you have ordered.
You can access our producer directory here: https://www.worthingtonfarmersmarket.com/vendors
And, remember, if you have a fever or if you are not feeling well, please stay home.
