Do you live on a farm? No, but I certainly eat like I do!

I love to read Columbus Underground.  Started in 2001 as a resource to share all of the great things happening in Columbus,  it is the best local forum for people to share ideas and get information.  I am continually updated about new restaurants, concerts, and other events taking place in our great city (now you know how I am so hip and happening).

Even though Columbus is the 15 largest city in the country, people still have a perception that Ohio is mostly made of farms and cows!  When I tell people outside of Ohio where I'm from, I seriously have been asked, "Do you live on a farm?"  People have no clue how much we have going on here.  I love this city and it's clear Columbus Underground does, too.  And with warm weather on its way (let's hope, I am SO SICK OF THIS RAIN), there will surely be something you will enjoy.  Check it out!

And speaking of farms...It's Farmer's Market Time!  While I am happy there's more to Ohio than farms, I am very thankful that we have plenty!  I love fresh produce and vegetables and am so happy about how many Farmer's Markets are springing up around the city.  CU has highlighted ALL of the local ones here, but I have highlighted a few that may be close to you.  Enjoy!
