Small markets can seem intimidating because of their intimate size. However, the intimacy is actually a benefit. These markets eliminate a “too crowded” atmosphere that many larger markets can have by default.
The Westerville Farmers’ Market fits into the small, intimate market category. Situated just across the street from the Methodist Church in downtown Westerville, this market boasts quality vendors.
Along with vendors like Sugar Inc, who have been features here on this blog before, their are vendors like Rohini of Arjay Gourmet Foods Ltd.
Rohini makes her own, authentic Indian chutney. Chutney, which originated in India, was adopted by the British during colonization. Rohini says that the British version is much sweeter. Authentic Indian chutney varies in flavors based on what’s in it. Rohini makes two spice levels - mild and spicy - and uses different vegetables, fruits, and herbs accordingly. Chutney can be used as a dip or as a spread on toast and sandwiches. More information about Rohini and her chutney can be found at chutneylady.com
Needless to say, Rohini’s authentic chutney adds a certain unique touch to the Westerville market. Furthermore, it’s fun to think that such a unique food with such a long history is made authentically in Columbus, Ohio!
