Uptown Westerville Farmers' Market: August 28th Market Report


It's a farm fresh day in Uptown Westerville.

This week's weather forecast says it's a great day to visit the farmers' market! Sunny skies, a summer breeze, temps in the 70s, low humidity, and no chance of rain.

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

We will not see Ohio Farm Direct this week.
 

And, Lona Belle's Home Baked Goods, while at-market this week, will not be at-market next week (September 4th). (A good day to stock up!)

This week's community partner is Westerville Public Library.

Traffic report: The 'Uptown Improvements' project (and Columbia Gas project) works continue - look for steel plates in the northbound and turn lanes. Traffic is maintained for these 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.

Traffic report: The State Street 'Plane and Overlay' project seems to be winding down.

Dress cool. Be cool. Stay cool. Temperatures will be mid-to-high 80s, and with the elevated humidity, add 7°. Look for partly cloudy skies and a 9 mph wind (would that the breeze sustain all afternoon - that will really help).

Uptown Westerville Farrmers' Market: August 14th Market Report


It's a good day for a good day and it's a farm fresh Wednesday in Uptown Westerville.

This week's forecast is offering up a pretty nice weather day, with temperatures in the low-to-mid 80s, a light breeze, partly cloudy skies, only slightly elevated humidity. and a 7% chance of precip.

Today's vendor line-up includes: 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, Hinton Apiaries, Flying J Farm, Bird's Haven Farms, Made Without Grain, and Sweet Thing Gourmet.

Traffic report: The State Street 'Plane and Overlay' project is still going on between Lee Terrace and Walnut, but winding down - the road surface is now level and newly paved, looks like there is still some lane painting left to do. And, the 'Uptown Improvements' project (and Columbia Gas project) works continue. The space in front of Hanby School is mostly complete - a crew will eventually replace the brick - as they had to use placeholder brick due to a shipping error. Traffic is maintained for these 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.

Just a reminder, Westerville City Schools are now in-session.

Uptown Westerville Farmers' Market: August 7th Weather Outlook


Everywhere I go, I always look for creative entrepreneurs, whether it's artisans and craftsmen, small farmers and gardeners, or restaurateurs who use fresh, locally sourced ingredients. I admire the courage and self-reliance it takes to start your own business and make it succeed. [Martha Stewart] Celebrating National Farmers' Market Week!

Taking a look at this week's weather: Look for a visually beautiful day (mostly sunny skies, fluffy clouds) that will feel hot (temps in the 80s/feels like in the low 90s) and muggy with a little bit of a breeze (7 mph). If we can get past the 51% chance of rain during market set up, we expect a window of time throughout market hours that is precipitation free.
