Obviously to my detriment, as for locally grown produce the flavor is wonderful, for prices similar to grocery stores imo. There's not a lot of parking, and it's cash pay (or a convenience % fee if using a cc). Really helpful staff who will help get things to car if needed, so although inside to pay might be too tight of a space if wheelchair, I think they'd figure out how to make it work. The corn and tomatoes I can attest to quality, this time adding a cantaloupe to what I purchased!

Best winters farmers market in Indy!!…read more 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.

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.

It's such a natural and great way to bring new faces into the space and celebrate local makers. The farmers market is a great family activity and often features live music, storytelling and other charming activities. We often end up grabbing brunch from Llama Delicatessen and Tinker Coffee. As for market vendors, you'll find everything from pasta and local cheese to winter produce, honey and dried flowers. It's a great assortment of food you can actually take home to make meals (and not just sauces and soaps ;). This is one of our favorite ways to spend Saturday mornings in the winter. Highly recommend!

The 2021-2022 location is The Amp - a new city market/like the Garage where there are multiple food stalls. The Amp - even tho it is not by anything - has the audacity to have pay parking lots but they are FREE during the farmers market! This market is huge with lots of vendors. Bring CASH. Most take credit but a few younger businesses only do cash or Venmo. There's a lot to offer - Filipino food, vegetables, fruits, spices, handmade crafts, baked goods, candles, sandwiches, etc. The food stalls are also open so you have a ton of awesome options for food while you are there!

It is,…read moreessentially, a farmer's market hosted directly at the Indiana Government Center or, in this case, in the Robert D. Orr Plaza. The mission of Statehouse Market is "In order to promote healthier eating habits and support Indiana farmers and businesses, the Statehouse Market gives state employees and customers a location that provides fresh, high quality produce and food products. This outlet is also an opportunity to promote locally grown products and produce." The weekly event is a highlight for Statehouse and Indiana Government Center employees and it's not uncommon to see folks come by from other area office buildings. The Statehouse Market took a hiatus during 2020 due to the pandemic, a time when even most Government Center employees were working from home. However, it has returned this year and is slowly building steam again. Today was downright busy. The event includes typically about a dozen food trucks, a handful of veggie type vendors, and other area businesses ranging from the soon to be open downtown location of Rise n' Roll Donuts to Groomsville Popcorn, Oberweis Dairy, Gluten Free Creations, and a host of others. Food trucks have included the likes of: BoxBurger Truck Brozinni Pizzeria Byrne's Grilled Pizza Chef Dan's Southern Comfort Chomp'z Food Truck Da Blue Lagoon Dashboard Diner Delectable Cuisine Catering Der Pretzel Wagen El Venezolano Greiner's Sub Shop J & J A Taste Of Home Catering Johnson's BBQ Shack Las Tortugas Food Truck and Catering Muay Thai Kitchen Nacho Mama's Food Truck Nicey Treat Ooo Weee Chicken Pastabilitiez Pierogi Love Indy Serendipity Mobile Catering Soladine Concessions Street Chef Sweet Valley Ice Cream Tacos Without Borders Taste of The Caribbean The Legendary Kitchen The NY Slice The Twisted Sicilian Wild Boar BBQ and more. You can also occasionally see government agencies with a table, local colleges, and employees can often find various agencies associated with their daily lives such as insurance providers, banks, etc. I will admit that I contemplated lowering the rating a star because accessibility can occasionally be an issue, but for the most part everyone here does really well. The Statehouse Market recently observed its 9th birthday. The only other time it has been interrupted was one year when it had to be moved over toward the Indiana State Museum due to some rehab going on in the Plaza. That was a rough year for wheelchair users and for anyone trying to squeeze in a food truck on a limited lunch schedule. A lot of folks don't know there is a downtown farmer's market - this is one of downtown Indy's best kept secrets and I look forward to it each week. Today, I visited NY Slice and I've definitely appreciated the variety that is maintained from week to week. Employees are notified each week which vendors will be present and it seems to be the one day when folks really get out of their cubicles and offices and get some fresh air and lunch. If you're in the area, I definitely recommend it.

I have purchased from the Simpson Family Farm several times in 2014. I will continue the routine…read more In the warmer months, I purchase from them at the Binford farmer's market in Indianapolis. In the colder months, they are setup in the downtown farmer's market. I know you can also visit the farm in Martinsville, I have yet to do so. Why... Why is it getting 5 stars and why will I continue? It is good meat. I have bought Chicken, and Beef from them. And, now that Thanksgiving is past, Turkey from them. My family is trying to buy as much organic, non-processed, "real-food" as possible. We had been buying organic chicken from the grocery. But, one day at the farmer's market, my friend said, "try this meat, it is the best." I bought a package of chicken. I was blown away. The meat was still on the bone, but to cut it off was like cutting butter. It sliced so easily (raw or cooked). And there was no - none - null - fat in it. The chicken from the store always seems to have a bit of gristle in the middle. Not this. And the taste - It was juicy and flavorful. So much better. Next I tried the beef - same thing. All grass fed, all great. The man said, if you like this, you should try our turkey. So, this Thanksgiving, we did. Everyone commented how flavorful the turkey was - and all I did was rub butter, salt and pepper with a little rosemary on it. Easy and the best ever turkey! Read the company's website on how they describe themselves as "better than organic." And, if you can, try it out. When my family cooks meat, we want it to be Simpson Family Farm meat!
