Week of August 30 & September 2

Welcome back IUP!!  Can you believe September is already here?  Don't worry, there is still plenty of time to enjoy fresh, local produce and everything else that the market has to offer.

If you are new to Indiana or returning after a summer away, please stop by to see us.  There is always something new to discover!

Thank you to Zepchild Barefoot Sandals and the Center for Community Growth for sharing their time with us last week.

The Market is OPEN during fair week during our regular hours.

This Saturday, we welcome Courtney Scanlan-Lewis to the Artisan Tent.  She specializes in homemade wooden items, including many children's items.

Did you know...
September is Local Foods Month?!

Here are some great suggestions for supporting local foods from the Mother Nature Network:

  • Pick your own (e.g. apples, pumpkins)
  • Go gleaning
  • Plant some fall crops
  • Keep buying from your farmers' market
  • Have dinner on a farm
  • Don't forget the wine and beer!  Support local wineries and breweries
More suggestions for celebrating local foods this month on our Facebook page.


Finally...BIG NEWS about changes coming to the market

We will soon be accepting SNAP/EBT and credit and debit cards at our Saturday morning market!
We will keep you updated on start dates and details of this program in the near future!

Remember to follow us on Facebook for the most up-to-date market information.

See you at the market!
