Households can get food from the market once a day, every day the market is open.
The market focuses on fresh, healthy produce, so most of what's available is fresh food rather than shelf-stable pantry staples. It's a good idea to check the daily menu before you come, since some days they may have fewer items available. Visitors bring their own bags but must use the market's shopping baskets when selecting items. Free parking is available on site.
The Linden Fresh Market provides free, fresh produce and other fresh food items. Past visitors have found eggs, milk, fresh vegetables like broccoli, carrots, peppers, onions, cabbage, and zucchini, potatoes, pineapples, and other seasonal fruits and vegetables. The market partners with Mid-Ohio Food Collective to source its fresh food.
This is a client-choice market, meaning you pick the items you want from the shelves yourself using the store's shopping baskets. Once you're done selecting, you can pack your items into your own bags.
The market also connects visitors with community programs, free classes, and organized meals that are open to anyone interested. Community events and resources are posted in the Linden Fresh Market newsletter, and you can sign up to receive weekly pantry menus, fresh food updates, and upcoming program announcements. The market also serves as a hub for support, connection, and partnership with local organizations and agencies.
