The great thing about outdoor farmers markets is that many are dog-friendly! Go for a long walk and end up at the farmers market with your best bud. If you’re trying to integrate other healthier habits into your family’s lifestyle, consider children’s cooking classes at Sprout Cooking School or visit the Fishers Agripark to immerse yourself in the workings of a real farm and garden. Find parks with adult exercise equipment or train for a family 5K fun run. There are so many ways to work towards a healthier 2024!
