So where (and when) can you find Blue Owl?

Here are the main outlets for items raised at Blue Owl Hollow and Blue Owl Garden Emporium:

Worthington Summer Farmers Market
During the summer, we sell May through October at the Worthington Summer Farmer's Market, held on High Street in downtown historic Worthington, OH, on Saturday mornings from 8 AM to noon. Our full range of products will be available, including fresh and dried herbs, mushrooms, herbal teas, seasonings, edible flowers, unusual small fruits and much more. To give us a chance to stock up on herbal goodness for the winter months, we'll only be there every other week during the busy summer season, but our Products page gives you an idea of what to expect when we are there.
Worthington Winter Farmers Market
During the winter, we sell at the Worthington Indoor Market, held at The Shops at Worthington Mall, 7227 N. High Street (just off I-270), Worthington OH. We sell there Saturdays, from 9 AM to noon. The 2024-24 season is the market's biggest indoor season yet with over 85 vendors, come and check it out! We have our normal selection of products and hopefully will be able to add some new teas and seasonings as the season progresses.
Keller Market House
A selection of Blue Owl herbal teas, seasoning blends, and other value-added products are available for sale year-round at this farm store featuring local foods & artisans inside one of the restored historic buildings in downtown Lancaster OH.

Workshares, Workshops, Other Events

2025 Mushroom Workshare Dates & Times:

Signups for Blue Owl's 2025 mushroom workshare dates are open; come learn everything there is to know about growing mushrooms on logs. Here's how it works:

Every Sunday afternoon (noon-4) and Tuesday all-day (10-6) for about 8 weeks in very early spring, you have the opportunity to join me in renewing Blue Owl Hollow's mushroom production infrastructure by inoculating new hardwood logs with various types of culinary mushroom spawn. You'll learn the process, get a tour of our mushroom production area, and have the opportunity to earn your own log to take home. Email if you are interested, pre-registration is REQUIRED. If a date is marked FULL but it's the only time you can make it, please let me know anyway; we can add you to a waiting list, since cancellations do occur.

Here's the 2025 schedule:

Introducing the Blue Owl Herb Growing workshare!

Many people have asked about an herb-focused workshare and I think I've finally found the right project: herb bed re-vitalization and maintenance. With 60+ raised production beds for growing herbs, the need to be reinforcing, re-planting, weeding, fertilizing, and generally maintaining beds is never-ending. Sometimes it's just a matter of weeding and mulching existing plantings, but often a bed pretty much needs to be rebuilt from scratch. One weekend of every month during the growing season (May - October, Saturday or Sunday afternoons, depending on weather), you are welcome to join Janell in renewing one of the Blue Owl Garden Emporium production beds from the ground up. While we work, we'll talk about soils and fertility, crop rotation, pest control, the history and growing requirements of specific herbs, planting techniques, weeding strategies, etc. The workshare is free and participants will leave with a better understanding of how to construct long-term planting areas... and most likely also take away plant starts, herb cuttings, seeds, or other gifts from the garden.

You are also invited to join us on a weekday the week before the workshare to assist in gathering the necessary materials for bed building, primarily rocks gathered from along the forest farm trail system. Some trail maintenance may be necessary to accomplish this task -- cutting up downed trees, filling in washed out areas, putting in water bars, etc. -- so it's a great opportunity to learn hands-on about forest farming, too.

Note: this will be a new workshare, so there'll undoubtedly be some refinement required as we go along, please be patient. As with the mushroom workshare, pre-registration is REQUIRED. Email if you are interested or have any questions!
