Your Farmers Market Team

Did you know that your favorite local farmers market is run by The Worthington Partnership? Here’s the team that keeps the fun going in Worthington all year long!

Community Table — Girl Scout Cookies

Girl Scouts are excited to be back at the Worthington Farmer's Market with the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world. All proceeds from cookie sales stay local - benefitting Worthington troops and local Girl Scout programming. All cookies are $6 per package, including the brand new Exploremores. Girl Scouts will also be collecting corks and medicine bottles for Columbus Recycles.

Get your Girl Scout Cookie fix at Booth #51 in the North East Corridor near the Pies & Pints entrance this Saturday through March 28!

Producer & Market Partner News

The Compost Exchange, Booth #94, East Parking Lot (near First Watch)

Since 2018, with the help of our incredible TCE members, we have diverted more than 7 million pounds of food waste and compostables from the landfill.

We worked right through our 5 million pound milestone and kept going. Every bucket, every scrap on a plate, every compostable item adds up.

Next stop, 10 million and beyond. We will keep working hard to grow, expand access to composting, and close the food loop in our communities.

Thank you for being part of something that truly makes a difference.
