Here at the Worthington Farmers Market, we are pet people! But in the dog days of summer, the market is not a great place for our canine companions. Heat and crowded conditions make the market a stressful and potentially unhealthy place for dogs and other animal companions. Please consider leaving your pets at home as the temperatures heat up!

It's getting hot out there! Beat the heat at the market by planning ahead, and remembering our heat tips!

1. Come early before it really heats up - our market opens up at 8AM! (Bonus - you'll miss the big crowds!)

2. Drink your water! If you need a reusable water bottle, purchase one at the info booth (on the corner of the Graeter's Lot) for $5!

3. Find Shade! We are so lucky to have an abundance of trees and shade in our beautiful historic district. There is plenty of shade under the trees on the Village Green - take a break!

4. Refill, refill, refill! Use our water bottle filling station located on the southwest Village Green to hydrate all morning.

5. Consider leaving your pups at home! While we love our fluffy market friends, their paws don't love hot asphalt (and it gets hot very quickly)!

Join us every Saturday morning in the Worthington Historic District every Saturday morning through October (except 10/3) from 8am to noon!
