The adage says that size doesn't matter and never was that more true then at the Upper Arlington Farmers' Market. While the market as a whole may be smaller, the quality is big and worth the visit. Vendors like the Sugar Inc. Bakery and Tea Salon certainly stand out. Originally out of Dublin, OH, this bakery and tea salon will be opening up a location at Polaris Fashion Place after the farmers' market season is over. The owner, Ava Misseldine, is originally from Hawaii. She has been working in fair trade and organic teas for years before she decided to open up Sugar Inc. - which includes the teas, as well as baked goods. Sugar Inc. can be found at the Pearl Alley, Easton, and Westerville farmers' markets as well. Let the photo below encourage patrons to get to their booth early, as what you see is all they had left by 5:30pm.
Just next door to Sugar Inc. is Columbus Pasta. The booth, headed by a vibrant man named Allen, boasts flavored and seasoned pasta that cannot be undersold. "My buddy makes it," says Allen, "and he sells it to a lot of restaurants in Columbus. You name an Italian restaurant and they probably get their pasta from him." Lemon Pepper Fettucini and Mushroom Ravioli are two of the many sold by Columbus Pasta. As seen in the photo below, their motto of "Live, Laugh, Love...but never eat bad pasta" is expressed in their quality, fresh made pasta. Columbus Pasta also hits up the markets at Easton, the Pearl Market, and Granville.
With innovative and vibrant vendors like Sugar Inc. and Columbus Pasta, the Upper Arlington Farmers' Market provides a friendly and intimate market experience.
