Jonesin’ for Sassafras Bakery
Author: swampkitty05 // Category: Columbus, Eating Local, Farmer's MarketI think I’m in love…with AJ Perry’s baking. Can’t help but stop by her stand every week at the Worthington Farmer’s market for fanfriggintastic baked goods like muffins, brownies and blondies, cookies, and my current object of affection, her heirloom tomato tart, which Paul and I snarfed down in one sitting and which I’m already craving again. My husband is smitten by her Tomato, Basil and Mozzarella scones. It helps that she’s a super-nice person too, and I enjoy talking to her.
I’ve been inspired. Keep your eye out later this week for an heirloom tomato tart of my very own inspired by the delicious ones I’ve gotten from Sassafras Bakery.

We are avid fans of Sassafras too! We stop every week for one of her scones. They are wonderful and the combinations are typically unexpected. Earlier in the summer she made elderberry hand pies and I ruthlessly hid it from my husband and daughter each week so I could gobble it up all by myself.

I just moved to the area from upstate NY over the summer and have been visiting the fabulous Worthington Farmer’s Market too. Those Tomato Basil Mozzarello Scones rock!

The elderberry pies are awesome! Her granola bars are delicious too! I get one or four of those a week.
