Broad Ripple Farmers Market

In Europe, markets (farmer's markets as we call them here) are a staple of everyday life. Here they are kind of a novelty but I think we are slowly creeping toward staple. In our house we like to see the market as a necessity.We try to buy only at the market and not from the grocery store: eggs, bread, jams, sausage/bacon and fresh flowers for home decoration. We easily find these things at this market year-round (ok, maybe not the flowers).We enjoy purchasing seasonal fruit and vegetables that we don't grow at home or don't grow enough of. Berries are a favorite in the summer in which multiple vendors provide.Sweet corn is reallllly popular at this market. You will wait in a line. We enjoy purchasing and eating breakfast the market but we find it is expensive for the portion you get - no matter the vendor. Jason Michael Thomas has delicious breakfast sandwiches.In 2021 the market was not in Broad Ripple 'proper' and that ruffled some feathers. I was personally very pleased to see it at its temporary home at 2nd Presbyterian as I live only a few blocks away.Everyone that works at the market (market staff, vendors, volunteers...) I have found very friendly and inclusive of everyone in the community.The market's instagram pack is very usual as a way to see a market 'preview'. I plan ahead what I want to buy based on the preview. Our young daughter loves to join us for shopping and a bit to eat... and in the Summer the real attraction are the dogs. So many cute dogs! The live music is a great addition. We buy breakfast and head over to the tables near the music and make a great morning out of it. Music is continued at the Winter market as well (which is currently located in the vacant Macy's).I hope to see this market continue to expand. We enjoy it very much. My only ask is that the folks running the trash/recycling be a little less condescending when it comes to sorting rubbish.

One of my favorite farmers markets in Indiana. The space is grand. There are many vendors lining the perimeter and there are even vendors towards the center of the space now. The blacktop in the center is a nice place to enjoy the food from the vendors that have ready to eat food for purchase. There are vendors who sell cheese, baked goods, fresh fruit and vegetables, outdoor plants, indoor plants, jams, pickled veggies, breakfast food, pizza, tacos, and coffee. It is a one stop shop full of quality goods. In the wintertime they move the farmers market indoors.

I've always loved the vendors here. The market moves around, but I like getting my food from local vendors that I know. Relationships with the people that grow and raise animals that I eat are extremely important to me. Just today Norman explained the difference between a few of his Potato varieties and how some are good for baking, others good to dice up. Mandy, at Schott farms, lives by a simple principle of no fillers and all organic feed for the chickens. The apples from the orchard, the bison from the rancher, local lettuce, kale, honey. I think we can all eat local and live better because of it.

I always come to the market every Saturday morning. There is a large parking lot and we never have problems getting somewhere to park. In the summer it's generally 8 AM - 12 PM. Very dog friendly! The vendors will change week to week occasionally, so check out their instagram to see if your favorite spot will be there that week. My favorite spots to stop are for pastries, breakfast wraps, and to pick up a treat for my dog at "Dog Wants"There is a separate dining area covered down a path. There's generally a local band playing music there as well to enjoy while you eat. I'm sure you would be able to find something for everyone in your group!

What's not to love about a farmer's market, especially one in Broadripple?! Some parts that make this one so great:-dog friendly! Of course use caution to make sure your pup isn't turning booths into an all you can eat buffet, but furry friends are welcome!-on the dog note, there were 2 different dog vendors when I was here, which as someone who is obsessed with my dog, I really appreciated! -there is a variety of vendors! I feel that this market focuses on quality of booths rather than quantities. The result is a unique variety of goods, each booth being different than the last-everyone is friendly. Seriously. Shoppers and vendors a like were enjoying the weather and the Indianapolis culture. Street parking is available, it fills up but most people don't camp out all day. Cheers to shopping local!

A great farmers market in the Meridian Kessler area. There's a range of produce, baked items, poultry, flowers and food items. There s plenty of parking and just a short walk to the market. There isn't anywhere to really sit but we brought a blanket and sat down in the grass!

Absolutely love this market. It's pretty big, conveniently located, and there's a great variety of produce, meats, and other groceries that are reasonably priced. In fact, it's hard to stop buying once you start!Some tips for first timers and those coming during the "COVID era":- Come early!- Familiarize yourself with vendors prior to arrival- Bring cash just in case - Bring a mask (they may not let you in without one)- Park by the Glendale movie theaters (much easier in-and-out)- This one may be obvious but...bring your own grocery bag

I love farmers markets! Thankfully Indy has them year round, but there is something special about being able to go and check one out outside and take in all the sights.I've seen posts about this farmers market online and have always been curious about it. Finally made the plunge and decided to go check it out. It's located in the old Broadripple high school parking lot and there's plenty of places to choose from.It's been stifling hot as of late, but I'm not mad, when you first walk into the farmers market the natural born juicers truck is there for you to pick something up from. If you haven't tried them yet, please do. I love the green juice because it's refreshing but you don't feel like you are drinking dirt.The whole market is spread out and there are so many different options! I picked up some fresh produce from an Amish stall, fresh eggs from a farm down in Bloomington, pots and pans were there with hand pies and cold brew coffee. Awesome experience and I'll be a weekly customer for some staple items

A very nice farmer's market especially if you are looking for fresh produce or fresh meat.
