The Olde Worthington Summer Farmer’s Market is bigger and more exciting than ever with our largest number of vendors in history exhibiting their produce, meats and goods every Saturday beginning May 9th. The Summer Market runs through October.
We have 68 vendors lined up each Saturday, including new faces such as a spice vendor, gluten-free baker and a family-owned dairy who will be selling delicious creamery milk and other dairy products. As always, the Summer Market is held in Downtown Worthington.

We’re kicking off the first of our weekly summer farmer’s markets with the annual Plant Fest, held May 9th from 9am to 4pm on the historic Village Green in Olde Worthington.
Plant Fest is a perfect inauguration of spring featuring hundreds of perennials, annuals, herbs and seeds for sale. There are also crafts and of course, the delicious spring produce and goods you rely on from the Farmer’s Market.

Thank You to Our Winter Market Volunteers
We just finished a great Winter Market season, and it wouldn't have been possible without our dedicated volunteers. Volunteers are responsible for setup, tear down, staffing the Information Booth, assisting the Chef, and loads of other stuff. And that usually involves plenty of chatting with vendors and customers too! Thanks a bunch to:
