Indianapolis Winter Farmer's Market

Best winters farmers market in Indy!!Small amount of parking in the main lot with tons of parking across the street in the gravel lot.The place stays pretty busy from open to close. Most weeks all the vendors are there but sometimes it can be slow. Usually there are 4-6 booths with greens and veggies, 2 apple orchards, 1-2 Kombucha vendors, 2-3 bakeries, and an assortment of others from essential oils, pickling snacks, mustard, salt dressing, honey and coffee.All local businesses and all wonderful people.There is usually live music playing, prepared food vendors and a few tables to sit at.Note - You can't bring your pets to this one since it is inside and the isles can get crowded so if you have small children it is best to carry them or have them in a stroller.

Don't shoot the messenger but I'm really missing the natural light and energy of the old location (City Market). I understand the parking and space is much easier/plentiful here but the partnership with City Market seemed like such a smart and natural fit. Plus, I loved strolling from one section of the market to the next to gather breakfast and eats for the week.The new location offers many of the vendors you've seen in the past - Duos, Bee Coffee, Amelia's, Wildflower Honey and so on. Parking is free and located across the street and you won't have a hard time finding a spot. My biggest hang up at this location is the dark/warehouse feel that seems to be a big contrast to the light and flow found at City Market.

What a great service. I was able to get the full guided tour including a chat with the couple who started it. This is a great way for locals to pick up high quality, locally produced food. There is everything from heirloom seed exchange to specially roasted coffee beans, to frozen meals (even vegan), to eggs, carrots, lettuce, pasta, honey, kombucha, and amazing cannolis. The people are so friendly, the booths are a blast and the sense of community is what rounds out the experience. Oh and the prices are very reasonable.

I was super excited to hear that Indy would be getting a winter market! Located in the remodeled salvage store at 25th and Central, I was late in getting there one Saturday morning and missed out on the apple cider, but had to make a decision if I wanted apples for a pie I was supposed to make, or the free range eggs ($2)...and having only $5 cash on me that day, the apples for the pie prevailed. The apple guy was super nice and even gave me a sample of the type of apple i was buying - and to think i thought they all tasted about the same. Oh, and the pie came out great! Since I was on a mission for apples, I missed out on the rest of the local, organic, and fresh fruits, veggies, and baked items, but its open every Saturday!
