The weather is warming, summer is just around the corner, and that means it’s the start of farmers’ market season. We want to make sure you don’t miss an opportunity to get out and meet your local farmers and artisans, so we compiled this extensive list of Indy area markets.
But don’t worry. If you can’t make it to a market every week, you can order online from local vendors through Market Wagon, Green Bean Delivery, Tyner Pond Farm, or Hoosier Harvest Market.
