Uptown Westerville Farmers' Market: October 25th Market Report



We have had our summer evenings, now for October eves. [Humbert Wolfe]

Fall has arrived! And, what a stretch of great weather to usher in the season. Even with a chill in the air, it is a very good day to pick up a little farm fresh in Uptown Westerville!

This is the last market of the 2017 season... week 26 of 26 weeks.

This week, it looks like it's time for sweatshirts and jackets - we should find temperatures in the low 50s, with clouds, and a 9 mph wind with gusts. There is a 51% chance of rain during set up, in the forecast, and a slight chance of precip in our first hour, so we'll be keeping an eye on that.
