SO many great local vendors with great selections!!! I got there about 20 minutes after opening and it was filling up fast, by the time I left around 10a, the market was packed. Parking can get tight very quickly so come early if you want a good spot. The vibe at this market is so friendly and people having a good time, very pet friendly too, I loved seeing so many of the dogs!!! There's something for everyone at the market, I do wish they had another coffee vendor come through because the line at Hubbard and Cravens was long! BRFM is the place to go for sure! read more

I like going to Farm Markets this time of year because Indiana's produce is in season and I can shop local. The Broad Ripple Farmers Market is quite an operation. We arrived ten minutes before opening to find a line of about 200 people waiting to enter. These people are serious shoppers that come equipped with carts, wagons and armfuls of bags. Seventy or so vendors are organized by produce, crafts, baked goods and prepared foods. Long lines of shoppers form quickly outside popular produce vendors, making it difficult to shop. The regulars know exactly where they want to go. If you see something you want, you need to buy it quickly or it's gone. The produce was locally grown and beautiful in most booths. Prices were high, in general, but shoppers were not deterred. I picked up some beautiful and reasonably priced eggplant. But I draw the line at $6 pints of cherry tomatoes. Several vendors were selling fresh baked goods. Bakeries from around central Indiana were present. I saw breads, muffins, cookies and more. I was intrigued by sourdough bread and bought a loaf. Music plays at a central location. Tables and chairs fill up quickly with coffee drinkers and people sampling the various food selections. We had trouble finding a seat to eat my breakfast pizza. People had dogs on leashes, lots of dogs. Personally, I prefer not to have dogs at the markets because they stick their noses in the food. Don't get me wrong, I'm a dog lover, but I leave mine at home. Parking fills quickly and we found backing out of our space to exit a challenge as cars kept coming. Some people park over in the mall parking and walk, which might be easier. I did not see rest rooms or other amenities. I think it's probably easier to shop after you have been a few times to the market and know exactly what you want. Bring a hand cart. read more

This Farmer's market stays busy from the time it's open to the time they close. They close at noon and I can say people are still coming in at 11:30 and 11:45, I couldn't believe it. The fresh corn line stayed long until the moment they sold out. I was thirsty and the lemonade from the popcorn and lemonade stand was tasty. I will definitely be back to provide them with repeat business. SPOILER ALERT: Overall, this was a great farmers' market, but there were way too many dogs. I also noticed several dogs relieving themselves mid-walk, right on the concrete, which I found pretty gross, especially with so much food around. Germs can easily spread in that environment. On top of that, I have a severe allergy to pet dander. Many people don't realize how this can affect others when they let their dogs wander instead of keeping them close on a leash. I grew up with dogs and know there are dog parks, but I wish people would leave their pets at home in the air conditioning when visiting places with food. This is the reason for a lower rating. Anyways, I will return early to get fresh fruit, corn, and the lemonade. read more

It just so happened that I was looking for something to do Saturday morning with my mentee so I decided to go to the farmers market to teach her about it. This farmers market was well organized and they had a lot of different vendors here. I did notice that you must get here early because by 11am some vendors are running out of items. There was this corn vendor and that line was so long but I did notice that he sold out by 11:30an. People were talking about how sweet the corn is from there. I more so came to the farmers market to come window shop but I did end up buying a lemonade and some ice cream. The lemonade was very refreshing and delicious. I was happy I bought the lemonade and the price was not bad at all. It was $7 for a nice size. I also ended up seeing the dog store at the event so of course I could not leave without buying my dog some dog treats which she really enjoyed them. I will definitely be coming back here to this market. It is in great location also. read more

It was very good! It was smaller than Fishers of course and we are not deep into veggie season so we don't have a ton of options yet but there were a lot of other options. Great people waiting to get you what you need. There were the Amish farms produce and several farms with meat and eggs. Ash & Elm was there as well as Tulip tree and Moonlight Baking. The music is very nice and although it was hot, everyone was friendly and helpful. Always a great stop on a Saturday morning 8-12 read more

This was my first indoor farmers market and it was a great experience! My favorite farmers market is the Broad Ripple summer market. This indoor version for the winter season was just as impressive as their outdoor one. The space is big, parking lot is big, and there are a lot of vendors. Again, they nail it with the broad variety of vendors. They had some new vendors and the regular ones. The produce vendors had fresh veggies, just not much fruit this time of year (December). There were root vegetables, mushrooms, and leafy greens. There were vendors with ready to eat food options or they cooked food on the spot for you to enjoy during the market. The atmosphere was busy during the holiday season, but it didn't feel claustrophobic in there. It was great to do some holiday shopping too as there were giftable goods being sold by local businesses. read more

Such a cute farmers market! So many amazing selections to choose from! Everyone working and attending was so kind and helpful! Definitely will be going back! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Broad Ripple Farmers Market - Live music! - Farmers Market Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

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! read more

Well I certainly arrived to late to enjoy this warm and dry, winter indoor farm market. The Market is located in a small room inside of Liter House. Unfortunately, I only had 5 minutes because I didn't realize they closed so early. We went ahead and grabbed a dining table first at Liters for brunch then I went straight to the Market. I should have shopped first and I should have confirmed the hours. I did have a few minutes to make a round through but several vendors were already packing up or assisting their final customers. I did see several vendors I'll checkout hopefully here again or at another marketplace. The fresh herbs were so beautiful and healthy, foxglove, tigers lilies and other plants available, amazing candies, honey, chocolates and Circle City Kombucha was busy filling growlers. I hope to have the opportunity to see some of these vendors again. And, I'll confirm hours before going! read more

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 read more

The smaller and cozier version of the summer market still packs in all I love about farmers markets- fresh produce, local food and drinks. Be sure to check out Caprini Creamery's feta cheese, Native Bread's gluten free fresh bread or Amelia's for pro gluten, Pots and Pan's for a flaky tasty treat, and Circle to fill up a growler of kombucha. The market is inside in between Liter House and Half Liter. read more

Broad Ripple Farmers Market - Market bustle - Farmers Market Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Overall, the BRWM is a great way to escape the cold, step inside the beautiful Liter House, and get exposure to lots of locally made goodies. Given that it's wintertime, most of the vendors aren't fresh veggies/produce, but rather locally made baked goods, meats/cheeses, etc. I liked the overall selection of the vendors, but it was really crammed inside, and the day I went, it wasn't even that busy! There is so little space between the vendors' booths that if you have even 1 or 2 people waiting in a line, it causes a backup and a traffic jam, resulting in customers just "giving up" on that biz and not making a sale. I LOVE that it's inside the Liter House so you can grab some brunch and then head over to the market, or vice versa. There's also ample free parking. Adding more space for everyone (vendors and market goers) would be a priority for next year! read more

How does one up the farmer's market game? Put it inside a brewery. Not only do you have plenty of shopportunities, but also you have your boozy brunch destination under one roof. Who's all there? The list includes several familiar farmer's market vendors, including: -Lick (ice cream) -Tulip Tree (cheese) -Rene's (pastries + bread) -Home Ec (preserves + pickled products) -Circle City Sweets (baked goods) -Hubbard & Cravens (coffee) -Artisano's (oil & spices) -Wild's (apples) -Eagle Creek Apiary (honey) -Anna Belle's Garden (fruit + veg) -Phelps Family Farm (meat, poultry, & eggs) -Schacht Farm (meat + eggs) -Revival (almond butter) I can't forget to mention that Bent Rail has debuted their weekend brunch menu, which includes breakfast sandwiches, biscuits & gravy, bloody's, corned beef & hash, and a gravy-covered belgian waffle. Need a recommendation? The waffle is pretty out of control in the best possible way. Don't make other meal plans that Saturday, because the sweet and savory dish will stick to your ribs all day. Whether you're one to seize the day or stumble in hungover, start your weekend right at the winter market! read more

Broad Ripple Farmers Market - Shop first, brunch second. - Farmers Market Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

A beautiful place to spend your Saturday morning! There are many farmer's markets to choose from in Indy, but here are four reasons why I love the Broad Ripple Farmer's Market: 1. DOGS EVERYWHERE! If anything, this is a great place to come see all sorts of beautiful critters. 2. You are right by the Monon Trail, many great brunch destinations, breweries, and other things to do. Making a trip to the farmer's market can turn into a day long outing. 3. There are always a good amount of vendors, at least 30! From pretzels to gluten free bakery, to dog treats, to fresh cut flowers, you are going to find something for you. 4. Hello, it's a great place for breakfast! You can easily find something for everyone in your group. I recommend scoping out all the options before committing to a breakfast item. Some things to note: 1. There are not many tables to sit down and enjoy your finds. There are usually a few tables by the music, but again, it's limited. 2. Parking is a little chaotic. I recommend parking a few streets away (on Compton street) and take a short walk to get there). read more

Farmers markets have really exploded in central Indiana. It seems like every city (and within Indianapolis, every neighborhood) has its own farmer's market. It makes me think that there are just too many of them. How can there be enough farmers to have a presence at all these farmer's markets? Some of them are really small (10 vendors or less) and have a limited selection. However, the Broad Ripple Farmer's Market has no such problem. It is one of the oldest (and therefore, biggest) farmer's markets so it is well-attended. If you drive in, parking can be a bit of a problem. There is limited parking in the school lot, but if you drive down Compton, you should be able to find a parallel parking space within 1/4 mile. What brings a lot of people (myself included) to farmer's markets is the ready-to-eat food. I treat them like locally sourced food courts. The Broad Ripple Farmer's Market has no less than half-a-dozen stands that sell prepared foods for breakfast. Breakfast tacos, pizzas, sandwiches. Baked goodies, coffee, juices. Even desserts. read more

I just can't say no to a farmer's market. What makes this one special? It's history and amazing set of bizs: - Circle City Kombucha (try the new Concord!) - Roamers (new biz with yummy, hot pink beet hummus) - Nicey Treat (creative popsicles) - Broad Ripple Chip Co - Hubbard & Cravens Coffee And about twenty others! I'm excited to come back again and spend more time the second time around. There was a bit of live music and a nice crowd. Would love to see flowers for purchase as well! read more

New location... Pandemic procedures... a bit confusing, but still fun. I was expecting a bit more produce than there was, but I purchased quite a few goodies to munch on. Unfortunately the lady at Byrne's Pizza was incredibly rude, chastising me for not pre-ordering pizza... Heck, I didn't know, this is new to me too, so maybe a bit of patience. Yet she was overly sweet to the next customer, explaining all sorts of things and offering to call ahead to the actual restaurant to pick up a specialty pizza... weird... Like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. A shame really as this is one of my favorite pizza spots. I was eventually able to purchase one of their extra pizzas from the gentleman also working then stand, but this leaves a sour taste with me for sure. There were a lot of plant sales going on, but most of those stands had long lines. I scored some nice goat cheese. Also X'chocol art supplied me with some delicious caramel almonds and a big assortment of chocolates... omg... eat the chocolates with a glass of red wine for even more impact... just a suggestion. read more

I love farmer's markets. This one has a bit of everything and is in the heart of Broad Ripple. It is a favorite Saturday morning outing for our family. Some of my favorites at this farmers market: * there is always live music * doggies are welcome * the vendors - they are some of the best - some of which you may have seen at Yelp events! - Revival Almond Butter - Simpson Family Farms (beyond organic meats!) - Wildflower Ridge Honey - Rene's Bakery - Amelia's Bakery - Nicey Treats - Fermenti Artisan - My Dad's Sweet Corn This is only a small portion of the list - check out the web site and you'll see many more vendors. It is a fun place to be Saturday morning. Tips: - The market is in the high school parking lot - there is parking and I have always found a spot in the parking lot. But many will also park on the surrounding streets. You can park in Handicap parking spots for the farmer's market - there are some that are reserved for handicap parking - those are marked as "farmer's market handicap parking" - get there early if you can - less crowded. - many vendors have samples - and are happy to answer any questions you may have. - wear sun screen on sunny days - not much shade here. read more

I love farmers markets, and this is a good one. Lots of good produce and products to take home for cooking, live music, plus a nice selection of food and drinks to enjoy right away. I really enjoy the pupusas from 3 in 1 Restaurant, which are made with cornmeal, so they are gluten free. Note: get there early to ensure you get what you want, because several places like Native Breads (also gluten free) often sell out early. read more

I have spent the last few years wanting to go to our farmers markets, due to my old job any fun weekend things were impossible - but I was finally able to go to the winter market! I had a great time! I was able to chat with several of the vendors- all of them caught me up to speed with what they suggested and welcomed me to the market! I am obsessed with the Focaccia bread from Amelia's and am glad to be able to pick up my delicious nettle cheese from Tulip Tree in the reg! I can't wait to get to the summer market and see more produce when we are in season and eventually be able to bring my dog!!! Get out there and support some of your local groups! read more

Broad Ripple Farmers Market - The full haul - Farmers Market Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

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

Great space at BRHS for this! There's parking for customers and walkable for those who live in Broad Ripple! I love that farmer's markets are dog friendly because it let's you leisurely stroll and knock out walking your dog and shopping for groceries. This one is probably one of my favorite because it has a great mix of local farmers and local businesses. Retailers such as Circle City Kombucha, Nicey Treat, Walking Waffle Co, Pots and Pies, and Three Dog Indy are here. I've never left the BRFM empty handed! read more

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 read more

Such a cool way to spend a Saturday morning! Fresh produce, people and Bloody Mary's! Delicious Bloody Mary's by the way. It's so awesome to see a neighborhood come together like this! Everyone here is bundled up in their coats, hats and scarfs and braved the cold to come have some good food and stock up on fresh produce for the week. The selection is awesome. Swiss chard, kale, fresh cheese, local honey, Kombucha, fresh bread....you name it, they have it. The staff at the bar/breakfast area were super helpful and delightful! Smiles all around! We had the cornbread casserole (a first) and the Egg Sandwich. Both were fresh and delicious! The Bloody Mary had kick and was a great addition to our breakfast. There's live music from a local artist that is soothing while shopping for your fresh goods. I see myself returning here often. It's a great thing to do on a Saturday morning! Great family atmosphere! It's open from 9a-noon, so don't wait too long to decide to come here on Saturday morning. read more

There are few things I enjoy more than a good farmer's market. Broad Ripple Farmer's Market is one of my main three I turn to throughout the year. The stash of dogs and fresh vegetables is plentiful. It's been fun over the past few years to see these markets serve as a small business incubators - I remember trying my first Hoosier Momma taste at a market, Nicey Treat when they were a simple roll-around cart and so on and so forth. Other businesses you'll find: Three Days in Paris, Circle City Soups, LICK, Circle City Sweets, and dozens more:) I visited the market last weekend and found only one tweak I would make - could you pretty please bring in an ATM? Other than that, continue the wonderful live music, friendly familiar faces and delicious brunch eats. read more

Farmer's Market season. I like to explore and support them. This weekend was my first visit to Broad Ripple Farmer's Market. Parallel parking was tight, but there is a one-way street to park on the school's lot. The market is a long stretch along the east parking lot with angles of vendors at the ends. A vendor was selling prepared meals that smelled delicious. I particularly like the 100% maple syrup booth; the husband said that his wife was marketing at the Carmel's Farmer's Market, but I did not see her booth earlier that morning. Less than 10 booths were similar at the Broad Ripple and Carmel's markets. I like the Carmel's market because it is closer to me, easier to park, and vendors spread out in more space. A musician was playing in the small seating area. read more

I love love love this market! I usually drag omg my teenage daughter and we will have breakfast from one of the food trucks while we walk and shop ! We went a week ago and fell in love with all of the beautiful flowers that are out this season! I had to pick me up a couple along with the breakfast pizza from Byrnes , a walking taco for the toddler ( but I may have eaten most of it ) , a breakfast sandwich , and a strawberry lemonade and iced coffee ! I love the kombucha options along with all of the fresh veggies! I just love the community , live music, and personal touches of each vendor. Such a great energy here read more

This farmer's market has both summer AND winter hours which is truly unique. During the warmer months, you can find this market in the Broad Ripple High School parking lot with LOTS of options for locally-sourced and produced items (dog treats, breads, various kinds of beverages, produce, meats, flowers, household items, ready-to-eat food items, and more). This is a dog-friendly market, and I have never been to a vendor that wasn't kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about their products. Most (if not all) vendors are open to and encourage you using your own produce and grocery/goods bags which is a wonderful bonus to shopping here. You can even find live music and some places to sit and enjoy the hustle and bustle of a summer farmer's market. During the colder months, you can find the Broad Ripple Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings inside Liter House located in South Broad Ripple (SoBro area) off of Winthrop Avenue. This time of year the market is not dog-friendly, but they still have a decent range of items available as well as music and ready-to-consume foods and beverages. They also accept SNAP/Fresh Bucks throughout the year which is an amazing way to help our entire community thrive off of wonderfully made/grown local goods. I am so thankful to live in an area of the nation that provides me with locally-sourced goods throughout the year. If you'd like to learn more about the Broad Ripple Farmer's Market, you should check out their website here: https://www.broadrippleindy.org/farmers-market/ read more

This place is sooooo cool. It's a small and quaint farmers market open space with live music and inexpensive, yet delicious, food. Bent rail offers free hugs. Anyway, they have a simple affordable menu that caters to most eaters. It's a good place to eat then shop. The seating isn't plentiful, so you may have to wait or stalk a table or bar spot. Trust me, it's worth it. We ordered the egg sandwich, cornbread casserole, and bloody Mary's...what's breakfast without bloodies right. The egg sandwich was all that I dreamed of. It was a simple sandwich. Nothing fancy, nothing extra...fried eggs (or scrambled if you'd prefer), cheese, and bacon (or sausage if you desire). The cornbread casserole was a wintery delight. You must get the green verde type sauce. I'm not a casserole kinda person, but this will be part of my bent rail diet. Trust me y'all, this is non shareable. I mean, you can try, but you'll order another. Lastly, the bloodies, although made with zing sang and Tito's, was still very good. Maybe the food contributed to its taste, but it paired well with the food. This market is open from 9am-noon on Saturday's. Don't miss it. Wake up, come eat, go back home and nap. This is well organized and a must visit. Come one, come all...you're welcome. read more

Before I moved to Indy, I scoured a lot of Instagrams to uncover the local scene and flavors. The BR Farmers Market was one of the first Instas that I immediately fell in love with: gorgeous people with their puppies, glorious veggies and fresh fruits, beautiful bouquets of flowers, and plenty of food trucks to satisfy everyone's tastebuds, even your Midwest grandma's! Knowing what I know about farmers markets, I hopped on my bike to avoid car parking and peddled my way down the Monon to check it out last weekend. I was surprised that there wasn't designated bike parking, or rather, more adequate bike racks to accommodate all of the cyclists; I had to find the most accessible handrail to lock up to. That was a bit awkward, but not terrible. But on to the important stuff! Since this was my first visit, I meandered past each and every stand to get an idea of the vendors and their offerings. I was immediately greeted by an animal shelter and nearly walked away with two kittens! Thank goodness I was on my bike, otherwise I really would have brought them home! Continuing through the market, as described before, there were so many lovely local wares: veggies, fruits, cheese, honey, baked goods, hot sauces, and everything in between! I made sure to stop for a breakfast taco and then followed it up with a waffle, just to balance the morning out. Overall, I love this market. You can feel the pride emanating from the vendors and the appreciation from the locals for the wonderful local products. You know where to find me on Saturday mornings now! Maybe I'll bring a kitten home next weekend...but first, tacos. read more

Finally went to the winter farmers market inside Liter. I was a bit disappointed on how small it was. I was hoping to find some of my favorite vendors, but I didn't see any. I did see Amelia's bakery. I bought a chocolate croissant, which was delicious. They had a good selection of veggies and meats for sale. I was looking for the pupusas and Chinita Poblana tacos. read more

The first farmer's market of the season was on Saturday and they had so many vendors! They have a nice new set up at a nearby church that has a lot of room for social distancing. They have so many produce stands, cheese, and ready to eat food! The breakfast waffles and pizzas looked so tempting but I ended up with a big jar of dill pickles from That Pickle Guy! He was so nice and let me sample some of his pickles before buying, and they were delicious. read more

I fall more and more in like with the BR Farmer's Market after each visit. Unlike other local markets, they have a nice selection of local produce at fairly reasonable prices versus some markets that are dominated by ready to eat and packaged items. Plus, some of my favorite local businesses are there. Hellllllooooo to Nicey Treat, LICK, Home Ec, Amelia's, and Natural Born Juicers. During my visit today, I snagged some melons, oddles of squash, salad mix, and blueberries. Happy, healthy (not really, but trying :-) me! Definitely making this spot part of my weekly grocery shopping routine. This place is dog friendly so expect lots of furry children. If you come late be prepared to park on the street. Happy local shopping! read more

Oh BRipp Farmer's Market, how I love thee. The best part of my Saturday mornings is always the farmers market. During the winter, the market takes place indoors and has a smaller selection, but there is still plenty of fresh food available for purchase. The summer market really shines (no pun intended) though, because there are at least two, maybe three times the amount of vendors present? While there is a large variety of typical booths selling fresh produce and meats, there is also a number of vendors selling pre-made foods and other goods. One of my favorite vendors is Pots and Pans, they are always serving up something delicious and never disappoint. Oh and did I mention, dog central? So many fluffy canine companions, and (almost) always getting along with one another. It's heaven. There's also live music every week, rain or shine. You can grab some breakfast and sit at the table while enjoying the music! It's also a nice place to people-watch (and dog-watch, if you're me). The Broad Ripple Farmer's Market is one of my absolute favorite things to do in all of Indianapolis. If you haven't been, it's worth it, trust me. read more

I enjoy spending my Saturday mornings at the market. I can start it off with coffee and breakfast as I walk around and find what I need. Produce, cookies, smoked seasonings, jam, so many good things! A couple weeks ago, the power went out and we walked around with flashlights. I am thankful that the market continues in the winter. I love supporting local. read more
