Uptown Westerville Farmers' Market: October 7th Market Report

It's Market Wednesday in Uptown Westerville! Market weather is sunny with a touch of autumn and perfect for shopping at the Uptown Westerville Farmers' Market.

This week Krista Wagner of Nature's Honey tells us:

"A new soap bar this week! Some of you might have had a chance to try it in its mini-soap form, which I offered a couple weeks ago. Now I have large bars! Evergreen Envy is one of my absolute favorite blends, made from Bay, Rosewood, and Pine Essential Oils. It is a great woodsy smell that both men and women will love. This soap also has bentonite clay, my key ingredient all my shaving bars, so this bar can be duel-purpose...both for the bath and shaving! This is the only time Evergreen Envy will be offered...once these 15 bars are sold, that is it! Stop and have a smell...smelling is always free!"

Nature's Honey is a perfect, affordable artisan gift!

Arjay Gourmet Foods will not be at this week's market.

The market is a great source for Halloween pumpkins and fall decor(including Indian Corn).

See you at the market!
