Market at 15th & High

1871 North High Street puts this market directly on the Ohio State campus at the Wexner Center Plaza, where an outdoor Thursday stop brings fresh, local, and seasonal food into the university area. The setup is especially convenient for Ohio State students, staff, and faculty, along with nearby residents who want a shorter trip to produce and prepared goods. It runs as a compact late-summer market rather than a sprawling all-day outing, with nine listed vendors and a clear campus-oriented focus. One practical detail stands out: 100% of profits go directly to local farmers, tying each purchase closely to the growers and makers showing up here.

What you'll find there

The vendor mix leans heavily toward breads, baked goods, and farm products, which makes this market feel tailored to campus shoppers picking up dinner ingredients, pantry staples, or a loaf on the way home. Alongside the bakery presence, the roster includes produce growers, a student-run farm, and a mill, so the selection reaches beyond snacks into ingredients with a direct local footprint.

• -Pick up breads from Dan the Baker.
• -Find baked goods from Good Food Bakery.
• -Shop with JJ's Basket.
• -Look for pastries and baked items from Lucky Cat Bakery.
• -Buy farm products from the OSU Student Farm, a fitting presence for a market on the Ohio State campus.
• -Add French-style pastry from Patisserie Lallier.
• -Stock pantry staples from Shagbark Seed & Mill.
• -Browse produce and farm goods from Wayward Seed Farm.
• -Stop at Heirloom for its market offerings.

A few vendors also participate in CSAs, giving regular shoppers another way to buy into the same local network represented at the plaza each week. Some vendors accept SNAP benefits as well, which broadens how shoppers can use the market for routine food purchases rather than treating it as an occasional stop. With only nine vendors listed, the market reads as focused and manageable: enough variety to build a meal or pick up several staples, without the long aisle-by-aisle pace of a much larger market.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, an important detail if you usually pair a campus walk with a market stop. The market is held rain or shine, so weather does not automatically cancel the Thursday setup on the Wexner Center Plaza. If payment flexibility matters, some vendors accept SNAP benefits, but that acceptance is not universal across the market. There are no restrooms listed in the visit details, so plan your stop accordingly. The market’s August-to-October run also makes this a narrow seasonal window rather than a year-round habit, with late-afternoon hours that line up neatly with class, work, and end-of-day errands near High Street.
