If you’re wondering what’s going on around Columbus this weekend, let me save you a scroll. There are a couple of markets I wouldn’t miss for anything—and yes, I’ll be there with my salsa, a smile, and probably a few stories.
I don’t just show up at any market. I go where the produce is crisp, the neighbors stop to chat, and there’s always someone walking by with a fresh bouquet or a warm donut.
So if you’ve been searching “markets near me this weekend” while sipping your morning coffee, consider this your official invite. Let me tell you exactly where you should be—and why you’ll want to swing by our ridiculously good salsa table and sample 4 flavors of summer salsa!.
This one’s a gem. Every Saturday morning, the streets at Bridge Park come alive with over 120 local vendors. It’s bustling, it’s joyful, and it smells so good you’ll forget you skipped breakfast.
They’ve got everything from sourdough to succulents, and you better believe the music keeps your feet tapping while you shop. There’s always something new, always someone friendly, and an amazing dog show every week. Suppose the pups are thirsty, stop by for a cool drink of water. We always have water for our furbaby friends. If you’re coming by, bring an extra tote bag—you’ll need it. And when you see a table with salsa samples and someone asking if you’ve had breakfast yet? That’s me, so come say hi!

Some markets are new and flashy—this one was voted USA Today #1 Farmers Market in the USA in 2024 and nominated again for 2025! This is where you go when you want your eggs fresh, your veggies local, and your Saturday mornings to feel like something out of a storybook.
The vendors here know their regulars, and they’ll remember you, too. There’s live music tucked between tents, kids running around with kettle corn, and fresh herbs that still smell like the garden. You can grab groceries, chat with a beekeeper, and pick up a handmade cutting board, all before lunch.
If you’re nearby, swing through. I’m usually on the green with samples and stories. Don’t be shy—come say hi!

Sunday mornings feel just right in German Village. The trees are shady, the streets are cozy, and the market is packed with folks who care about what they make—and who they make it for.
It’s the kind of place where you find hand-poured candles, stitched leather goods, and maybe a watercolor of your favorite street corner. I always end up staying longer than I plan to—and I always run into someone I know.
We pack extra jars for this one. Folks in German Village love bold flavors and good conversation—my kind of people.

Let me tell you a little something about what’s in our containers. I don’t keep salsa sitting around, waiting. When you place an order, that’s when I get to work. It’s made fresh—always has been, always will be.
We use crisp veggies straight from nearby farms, and we don’t rush a thing. Every batch has bright, garden veggies you only get when it hasn’t been sitting on a shelf for who knows how long. Our promise to you, our salsa is ALWAYS FRESH and made to order for you!
Now, let’s talk flavors. I’ve got 7 reasons folks come looking for me at the market, and I set every one of them out with a spoon and a smile. These aren’t your average sips and salsa —they’ve each got their own little fan club.
It’s the easygoing one. Smooth, mild, and just the right amount of fresh garden, I hand it to every kid who walks by—and most of the time, Mama grabs a jar for healthy snacking while she’s prepping dinner. Easy-peasy, no fuss, and just plain good.
This one disappears fast at a party. It’s got the right amount of spice and a wee bit of a just-right kick. This is the salsa that makes folks dip again before asking what it is. I always say, If you bring Happy Medi-YUM to the potluck, you brought the crowd pleaser appetizer!
Now we’re talking. It starts out friendly with a late hit and a slow burn. If you’re a “hot salsa lover,” you just found your new favorite salsa! Makes a good flatbread pizza! If you like hot sauce on everything, this salsa is for you.
This one gets raised eyebrows until the first bite. Tangy, ranchy, a little dill, and a little zing. It’s weird in the best way. It’s the jar folks always come back for after saying, “I didn’t think I’d like it, but…” My favorite collab with @thecrazycucumber
And when the salsa craving turns into a cocktail craving? I’ve got you there, too. Everything’s made with real ingredients—no fake flavors, no shortcuts. Whether you’re mixing a drink or just sprucing up your soda water, these make it special.
It’s got that smoky heat and citrus brightness that’ll wake up your glass. You can make a killer cocktail or sip it straight with a splash of bubbly.
Seasonal, cozy, and way better than any drive-thru drink. It’s like a slice of pie with a little kick—good hot or cold, spiked or not.
This one finishes the drink with a little drama. Salty, smoky, and eye-catching—even my friends who don’t drink use it on roasted veggies and popcorn.
