Uptown Westerville Farmers' Market: July 31st Market Report

It's the final day of July and a farm fresh Wednesday in Uptown Westerville.

This afternoon's forecast brings us mostly sunny skies, slightly elevated humidity, a 7 mph breeze, and temperatures in the low-80s (add about 6° for the feels like). There is a slight chance of rain this week during market hours (51% in the first hour).

Today's vendor line-up includes: Made Without Grain, Sweet Thing Gourmet, Montezuma Brand Sauces and Salsas, Kingdom Fish, Kingdom Farms, Ohio Farm Direct, Java Central, Ohio City Pasta, Lona Belle's Home Baked Goods, Doran's Farm Market, Flying J Farm, and Bird's Haven Farms.

Hinton Apiaries is at the Ohio State Fair this week, so not at-market. We'll see Jerry next week.

This week, we welcome a guest community partner: from the Westerville Engineering Division, Traffic Engineer Jen Alford and Jared Groves. They'll have ears bent, the City of Westerville is working on a Mobility Plan - from footsteps to transit - and Jen and Jared are looking for feedback and thoughts from Westerville residents on getting around town.

Traffic report: The State Street 'Plane and Overlay' project is still going on between Lee Terrace and Walnut. And, the 'Uptown Improvements' project (and Columbia Gas project) works continue currently in front of Hanby School from Park to College.Traffic is maintained for both projects, so look for "lane redefinition" via orange cones, road surface grade changes, steel plates, construction activity (people and equipment on the move), and slower speeds. For the updated low-down on construction around town, check out GoWesterville. https://westerville.maps.arcgis.com/a…/Shortlist/index.html…

It's my belief that cooking is a craft. I think that you can push it into the realm of art, but it starts with craft. It starts with an understanding of materials. It starts with an understanding of where foods are grown. [Tom Colicchio]

This week's forecast calls for mostly sunny skies, slightly elevated humidity, a 7 mph breeze, and temperatures in the low-80s (add about 6° for the feels like). There is a slight chance of rain this week during market hours, the biggest chance being in the first hour (51%).

The kitchen's a laboratory, and everything that happens there has to do with science. It's biology, chemistry, physics. Yes, there's history. Yes, there's artistry. Yes, to all of that. But what happened there, what actually happens to the food is all science. [Alton Brown]

We have hard-earned this weather forecast and we deserve it! Look for mostly sunny skies, temperatures in the high-70s (that will feel like low 80s), slightly elevated humidity, a 7 mph breeze, and a 7% chance of rain. A very good day to pick up a little farm fresh!

Uptown Westerville Farmers' Market: July 10th Market Report

If it's a summer's Wednesday in Uptown Westerville, it's a great day for a farmers' market.

This week's weather forecast calls for a visually beautiful day with temperatures in the high-80s (with a feels-like 11° higher), elevated humidity, partly cloudy skies, a 6 to 7 mph wind, and the usual 51% chance of a pop-up between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. This is going to be a sizzler of a day, so dress cool, be cool, stay cool.

Reminder: Gene and Phil from Messiah have water and lemonade (free) under the awning at The Gathering Place, where there are restrooms, and the building is air conditioned - so a cool-off is steps away if you need it! Take care.

Today's vendor line-up includes: Hinton Apiaries, Flying J Farm, Bird's Haven Farms, Made Without Grain, Sweet Thing Gourmet, Montezuma Brand Sauces and Salsas, Kingdom Fish, Kingdom Farms, Hummavore, Ohio Farm Direct, Ohio City Pasta, and Lona Belle's Home Baked Goods.

We may see Annabelle's Blooms this week.

We will not see Doran's Farm Market today. (The sweet corn is coming on and is a week or two away.)

It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato. [Lewis Grizzard]

Hot town, summer in the city describes this week's weather forecast.  We're looking at temperatures in the high 80s, and due to the elevated humidity and 7 mph breeze, add about 11° to that - at least we have partly cloudy skies, so we are looking at a hot afternoon with just a little bit of air movement. And... a 51% chance of precip between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. (IF we see any precip it will probably be a pop-up.) Dress cool. Be cool. Stay cool.

Reminder: Gene and Phil from Messiah have water and lemonade (free) under the awning at The Gathering Place, where there are restrooms, and the building is air conditioned - so a cool-off is steps away if you need it!
