Logan County Farmers Market

This market is always a refreshing one! Having been to the big markets in Columbus and many of the smaller "big city" markets, this one is by far the best. All of the vendors are local and only bring local produce. This is hard to find with the other markets, but such a relief to consumers who truly want to support and eat local produce. The managers deserve props for enforcing this policy. As well, they are always available to answer questions, provide coffee, and often arrange for live music and entertainment. I never expected so much from a small market and the bar has risen for the others.

The variety of items available in this small community is surprising and impressive. Cheese, fish, meat, eggs, and of course the standard Ohio produce.... plus the syrups, coffees, and baked goods. Sometimes we have to wait longer for our tomatoes or fruit, but it is a good feeling knowing it wasn't shipped in and resold from a box under the guise of "local" or "home grown" to unsuspecting consumers.

For the review claiming there weren't enough vendors, there really isn't a need to have six vendors selling the same item in a small community. This market supports the community and serves as a business incubator to help local farmers sell produce. Many other markets are based on back yard hobbyists and aren't really there to enhance the community and support small business. I am proud of the support this market gives to actual small businesses and am happy to support them! This market really should serve as an example to others. I am so happy to have found it!
