New Albany Farmers Market

The New Albany Farmers Market has been a staple of the community, bringing together local farmers, artisans, and residents every Thursday evening from June to September. Organized by the non-profit group Healthy New Albany, this volunteer-run market has grown to feature over 60 merchants, including food trucks and a variety of local vendors. The market aims to promote community health and strengthen local ties by providing a venue for locally grown and produced goods.

Many merchants at the market are certified Organic or All Natural, offering a range of products from farm-fresh fruits and vegetables to award-winning goat cheese and locally made honey. The market emphasizes the importance of knowing where your food comes from, how far it has traveled, and what is currently in season in Central Ohio. This producer-focused approach encourages the use of locally sourced goods, supporting sustainable farming practices and reducing the carbon footprint associated with food transportation.

The market is held at Market Square in New Albany, Ohio, every Thursday evening from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, from June 18th to September 17th. Visitors can enjoy free live music, cooking demonstrations, and educational offerings while mingling with neighbors and sampling in-season local foods. The market also features a 'Community Table' for non-profits and encourages support for local small businesses, thereby strengthening the local economy. Fresh flowers, homemade specialty fudge, and sweets are also available, making it a delightful experience for all attendees.
