The Market at Hague

It pains me to drop a star but with fewer vendors and lack of readily available breakfast/lunch options it only seems fair. On the other hand, I very much appreciate the addition of Limelight Coffee serving up Cold Brew and ADH Teas offering locally blended teas. I can't get enough of their Spanish Lemon iced tea. Along with these two beverages you can always find me munching on a bag of D&S Kettle Corn. All of their popping corn is Indiana grown and they use Indiana maple syrup on their maple corn offering but I highly recommend the sweet & salty. Not a huge fan of kettle corn? They are happy to pop up a batch of plain for you as well. This year is a growing year for the market. It will take some time to get used to the new location & new name but with the addition of more produce vendors and readily available food options this market (fingers crossed) will get its groove back.

I don't have a lot of experience with Farmers Markets, so this rating is based on this one makes me feel. I really enjoy their collection of vendors, with some ready to eat food options and live music. It does feel a bit small to me. Maybe another 9-10 booths would be nice. But there is a good variety in what they have. The quality of their vendors wares seems to be of very high quality. We purchased some honey products from Dragonwood and we are enjoying them at every breakfast. In the past we've picked up some delicious lamb products as well. Its a good reason to get up a little earlier on a Saturday.

Now in the Lawrence North High School north parking lot.8:00 am to Noon, every Saturday in season.If they keep all the vendors from last year, it's bigger than Broad Ripple.See their web site for full list of vendors.My favorites are:3 in 1 Restaurant, Mexican and Salvadoran resturant.A&M BakeryAmelia's Bread, (MY FAVORITE BREAD IN INDY!)Artisano's Oil and SpicesB&C Cookie CompanyBackyard BirdsIndy Cutting Edge, knife and tool sharpener, including lawn mower blades.Movable FeastMy Dad's Sweet CornRolling Asian Delight - September start (Food truck)St. Athanasius Bakery - June start (My favorite sweet breads)

I love Saturdays in the spring because of farmers markets. I enjoy seeing all the fresh vegetables and herbs as they come into season. The farmer that I get beef bones for broth is at this market and there is a coffee roaster (lemon light coffee I believe) that I discovered I really enjoy.It isn't as crowded as some of the others and I enjoy the vendors. I do wish there were more of them.

Great market! Not overly crowded like BRipp and full of great vendors such as Tulip Tree Creamery. Tulip Tree Creamery has the most amazing butter, it's luscious! It is the only thing a I use on my sweet corn now.

They have a lot of vendors and selection for produce, though only one or two vendors were selling fruit (and even then, just peaches, plums, raspberries, blackberries, and what appeared to be crab apples). The prices are a bit steep, compared to other farmers markets, and even brick and mortar stores. For example, cucumbers and zucchinis were $1 each. At the other farmers markets (city market, statehouse, etc.... Can't speak for Broad Ripple since I've never been to that one) they're typically 2 or 3 for $1. At stores, typically 2/$1. They had some interesting vendors, like one that sold orchids and other tropical flowers in concrete pots, another that sold very overpriced artisan bread, another that sold various types of homemade dessert breads, another that sold homemade greeting cards, others selling necklaces and textiles, etc. I'm glad I went to check it out, but I think I'll stick with the downtown farmers markets since they're more convenient as far as hours and location, and more reasonable on prices.

Eh, I guess I'm used to the markets in Broad Ripple and downtown. First, of course, it's no longer on Binford but at Lawrence North high school. It's more spread out than other markets, which makes it easier to get around, but it also loses the energy of other markets. Seems to have more pre-made food than other markets (breads, pasta, cheeses, chalupas) at the expense of the fresh produce I visit the market for. Doubt I'd make a special trip way out there, but if I were in the neighborhood (as I was today), I'd drop in.
