Farmers' Market on Campus
For immediate release: April 29, 2010
Media contacts: Jaime Moore at Wayward Seed, Jaime@waywardseed.com or (937) 644-0786; Karen Simonian at the Wexner Center, ksimonian@wexarts.org or (614) 292-9923
The Wayward Seed Farm and the Wexner Center for the Arts have joined forces to present the Market at 15th and High, an outdoor farmers' market on the Wexner Center Plaza Thursdays from 4 to 7pm, May 27 through October 28. The largest of its kind in the campus area, the market will feature fresh, locally grown produce from area farmers, as well as dairy products and bread. About 12 local farms are expected to participate.
Notes Jaime Moore, co-owner of the Marysville-based Wayward Seed, which is serving as the market manager and will be a vendor as well, "The farmers are excited about this new venue, which has the potential to draw students, faculty, staff, and residents in the university area throughout the summer and early fall. This initiative is going to give more people in the area access to fresh food from local farms on a weekly basis, and we're delighted to be a part of this from the ground up."
Wexner Center Director Sherri Geldin says, "We are so pleased to partner with Wayward Seed in creating this fantastic new opportunity for the university community. The Market at 15th and High represents a center-wide commitment to encouraging environmental awareness-whether through ongoing collaborations with The Ohio State's Living Culture Initiative or such programs as our recent Field & Screen film series. Wex Education Director Shelly Casto, who also conceived the center's pioneering Art & Environment program for teens, has spearheaded this project on our behalf, along with a host of staff members across the center who share her enthusiasm."
The market will be held rain or shine, and 100% of the profits will go directly to local farmers. Food stamps and WIC will be accepted by some vendors, and the market organizers will deliver produce and other donations to the food pantry at Neighborhood Services following each market. A few vendors will also be participating in CSAs-Community Supported Agriculture, in which farmers deliver shares of produce on a weekly basis to subscribers. Acoustic music and student and university neighborhood nonprofit outreach tables will also be part of the experience.
While visitors are at the Wexner Center, they can enjoy free gallery admission at the center while exhibitions are on view (free from 4 to 8pm every Thursday). In addition, free outdoor Wex Drive-In films will be held on the plaza June 17, July 15, and August 19; although those films don't start 'til dusk (9pm or so), the market will likely stay open a bit later those nights to overlap with the pre-film festivities (free Jeni's ice cream and more), all of which starts up around 8pm. In addition, Michael Mercil's Virtual Pasture, an "agri/cultural" project-featuring a small meadow, apple trees, and a video uplink to an actual farm with sheep-will continue through the summer outdoors on the College Road side of the Wexner Center.
The market is in line with the university's and the center's focus on sustainability, "green" efforts, food quality and access issues, the local and slow food movements, and climate change issues, all of which befits a land-grant institution. Within that broader context, the Wexner Center has been offering up a thread of food-centered programming, including the popular Field & Screen series in February, which featured films about the food industry and food consumption; panel discussions and other talks; and a mini-CSA fair attended by several area farmers.
About Wayward Seed Farm
Founded in the spring of 2006, Wayward Seed Farm began as a farm-to-restaurant project on one acre in Sandusky County producing more than 100 different varietals of heirloom and heritage vegetables. In addition to serving restaurants, the farm established a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program with the intent to foster a direct connection between consumers searching for honestly grown produce and the farms that provide it. The Wayward Seed CSA program is now the anchor of the farming operation and one of the largest CSA offerings in Central Ohio. Wayward Seed Farm's commitment to sustainability and education extends beyond the farm to include community outreach and donation, as well as the formation of new farmers' markets throughout Central Ohio.

Six Degrees of Dublin
Friday, February 12, 2010
6:45-8:30pm
Dublin, Ohio celebrates 200 years in 2010. A successful place like Dublin doesn't reach that age without a whole lot of people, most of them unsung, doing the things that make a city, a community. In creating the web series 'Six Degrees of Community' we spent a lot of time pondering what kind of people make a place like Dublin tick. More to the point we thought about how those kinds of people are connected in ways they don't even realize.
Monthly, leading up to Historic Dublin's September Bicentennial Celebration, we'll chronicle those special people that make Dublin what it is today, and what it will be in the future. A place that thriving small businesses and large corporations both call home. A city that builds beautiful and forward thinking schools, and takes care of those who find themselves struggling with life's sometimes difficult circumstances. A community that nurtures the arts and throws open it's doors for thousands every summer at The Memorial and Dublin Irish Festival.
In 'Six Degrees of Dublin' we'll highlight some of those people who do the "heavy lifting" required to make Dublin more than just common zip codes and freeway exits... much more.
The evening will start off with a panel discussion on sustainability and the importance of local foods and farming. The guest moderator is Timothy Wolf Starr of The SBB and the panelist include Jaime Moore from Wayward Seed Farm, Jamie Adkins, City of Dublin Sustainability Programs Administrator, and Michael Jones, Executive Director of Local Matters.
After a brief panel discussion we will premiere the initial video episode of 'Six Degrees of Dublin'. Upon conclusion of the video we'll have musical performances from Fade To Blue and Jared Mahone.
We will conclude the evening with light snacks and networking in the lobby of Abbey Theater.
The 'Six Degrees of Dublin' video and event project is a collaboration between OnScene, Palestra Creative, JAM Sessions and the Historic Dublin Business Association (HDBA) that takes a multi-touch approach to showcasing the current status of Dublin, Ohio's local community. This event is free and open to the public.

Makin' Bacon
In just a few weeks we're hosting a cooking class at the North Market as part of the Dispatch School of Cooking series. There are quite a few of you who will be thrilled at the subject matter: Adam is makin' bacon. Below you'll see a brief write up on the class. Be sure to sign up soon to save your seat. Space is very limited, just 20 seats!
In this Dispatch School of Cooking class, we’ll have the rare opportunity to learn from one of Central Ohio’s most talented farmers: Adam Welly of The Wayward Seed Farm. The farm is renowned for its rare heirloom and heritage vegetables, but it has also garnered a bit of a cult following among its CSA members with Adam’s bacon and other charcuterie. Don’t miss the rare opportunity to learn from Adam first-hand in this intimate setting—not to mention the treat of tasting an array of preserved and cured meats, served in surprising ways.
We’ll be serving jowl bacon wrapped dates, pork rillette with homemade sauerkraut and golden raisins, microgreens salad with Canadian Bacon and Fuji Apples, and a very special ice cream collaboration with Jeni Britton Bauer.
While you're enjoying the good eats, Adam will demonstrate how to create your own pancetta and Canadian bacon at home.
The class is $50 (or any 3 classes for $125).
Call 614-463-9664 to register or buy tickets online here.
