We love our farmers markets and you should too! The fruits and vegetables you buy at the market are the freshest and tastiest available. Fruits are allowed to ripen fully in the field and are brought directly to you, no long-distance shipping, no gassing to simulate the ripening process, no sitting for weeks in storage. This food is as real as it gets—fresh from the farm.

A regular trip to a farmers market is one of the best ways to connect with where your food comes from. Meeting and talking to farmers and food artisans is a great opportunity to learn more about how and where your food is produced.

Wouldn’t you rather stroll outdoors amidst fresh produce on a sunny day than roll your cart around a grocery store? A farmers market is a community hub—a place to meet up with your friends, bring your children, or just get a taste of small-town life in the midst of our wonderful big city- that is what Compass Homes, your Columbus custom home builders call a win-win!
