About the Market

Background

The Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens Farmers' Market has been a staple in the community, offering a space for local farmers and producers to connect with urban residents. Located just 2 miles from downtown Columbus, it has become a convenient stop for commuters and residents alike.

Practices

The market emphasizes supporting regional farmers and producers, ensuring that the food offered is fresh and locally sourced. This approach not only benefits the local economy but also reduces the carbon footprint associated with long-distance food transportation.

The Rest

Held on Wednesdays from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., the market runs from June 5, 2024, through September 11, 2024, in the Well's Barn parking lot of the Conservatory. It offers ample, accessible parking and is easily reachable via COTA route 10. Applications for the 2024 season are now open, with no booth fees for this year.
