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]

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]

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.

Food is symbolic of love when words are inadequate. [Alan D. Wolfelt]

If this forecast holds, we are looking forward to a nice afternoon to pick up a little farm fresh. Humid, with very little wind, will

make mid-70s temperatures feel more like low-80s, cloudy skies, and a minimal chance of precipitation up to the 5 o'clock hour. (Last night, that was a chance of rain between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. (after market) and now it's creeped up into market hours - you know what it's been like the past few days - we'll keep an eye on that.)

Cooking is the ultimate giving. [Jamie Oliver]

In the current forecast, there is a 56% chance of rain during the first hour of the market. And, while rain is in the forecast during market hours, the chance of rain drops from 4 p.m. forward. The weather often changes in our favor, throughout the day, so keep a good thought. Otherwise, a pretty good farm-fresh afternoon with temps in the mid-to-high 70s and mostly cloudy skies; it will be windy with up to 13 mph winds (which will help offset the effects of the high humidity).
