This week will be an action-packed week at the market! We hope you will join us for our annual Customer Appreciation Day this Saturday. The market could not succeed without all of you – our loyal customers!
Last week was one of rain, sun, and lots of fun! Saturday morning, dietetics students from IUP
filled our kids’ tent with Veggie Smash!
Kids came through to mix ingredients into a baggie and smash them up to
make their very own hummus. There were also
veggie samples for tasting and recipe cards to take home.
The Center for Community Growth occupied our community
tent and shared information on their upcoming film series. You can catch the first film of the year, “Rich
Hill” at the Indiana Theater this Friday at 6:30 p.m. We even called in to the Center’s weekly
radio show, live from the market!
While we have had a lot of excitement this week, we are
sad to say that for some of our vendors the market season is coming to an
end. Saturday, we said goodbye for now
to Peterson Produce. This coming
Saturday is likely to be the last market day for Eagle Run Farm, so be sure to
stop by and see them. Among their
regular offerings, they also have beautiful purple beans and bell peppers that
you’ve gotta try!
This week, there will be even more going on, including
our annual Customer Appreciation Day on Saturday, August 29th.

In addition to our regularly scheduled special tents, we
will also have yoga and nutrition sessions, information on preventing back
pain, chair massages, DoTerra essential oils, and a make-and-take meat rub with
Mahoning Creek Farm. You can find more information about these
special events and services at the end of this post.
You can also enter a drawing to win a basket filled with
fresh, local, delicious market goodies!
It is sure to be a fun day for the entire family!
Save the date! Saturday, September 26 is our Harvest for
the Hungry event at the market. Market
shoppers can purchase an extra item or two (or however many you choose) to
donate to the food bank at Zion Lutheran church. We are currently looking for volunteers to
help on the day of the event. Volunteer
tasks include walking around the market and spreading the word, helping to sort
donations, and delivering donations to Zion Lutheran. If you are willing to help out for a 1-hour
shift (or longer if you’d like), please contact us at indianafarmmarket@gmail.com.
See you at the market!
