Market Time

Where is the best place to shop? I try to go to local farmers markets whenever I can and then I hit a local health store. I live in Athens which has a great farmers market- probably the best/biggest markets I have ever been to.
But when I am In Columbus I often visit the North Market.




About the North Market:


We are butchers, bakers and candy makers. We are fishmongers, greengrocers and restaurateurs. We grow, catch, find, make, produce, distribute, cook, create and invent our wares.

We are Columbus’ only public market and an incubator for small businesses. And we are the place to shop, eat, mingle and people-watch.

The North Market is home to dozens of unique, independent merchants and farmers who deliver personal and personable service every day of the week.

Check out their web site for more info: www.northmarket.com



I was there last weekend with my roommate Ashley. We were jumping up and down clapping we were so excited walking in.




I’m obsessed with the homemade peanut butter and Luna Veggie burgers. They also have an array of different vegetables that you normally can’t find. My fav- Broccolini. This goes along with my concept of changing things up to keep your body guessing.





How I cook Broccolini:


Lightly spray with cooking oil and lay on a cookie sheet after washing and chopping ends off. Add Pine nuts, salt and pepper to taste.
Bake at 400 deg for 15-20min.





We shopped around and I ended up getting egg plant and roasted veggies. It was hard to select what I wanted because they have so much to offer.





We ended this venture with a Wheat Grass shot- double of course from Bubbles Tea Juice Co.




Ultimate colon cleanse. I love their Batter & Bowl peanut protein bar.




I hope I have encouraged you to get out and see your local markets. I just went to the Worthington Farmers market yesterday with my mom I picked up egg plant, peppers, tomatoes, fresh basil and apples. Gotta love supporting to local community.





Till next time~ Chels
