Week of 8/29 & 9/1

Welcome back IUP!  Your summer may be over, but our season is still in full swing.  Whether you've been shopping with us since June or have been away for awhile, be sure to stop by the market to see what's new!

Summer produce is still at it's peak, but we're also seeing some of our fall favorites coming in!  This week brought the first apples of the year, as well as several varieties of fall/winter squash.


This week is also Fair Week.  The Wednesday market will be OPEN at our regular time and place (3:00 to 5:30 p.m. in the lot across from the KCAC - along with fair parking), with a limited number of vendors.  Hope to see you there!

In case you missed it (or if you really enjoyed it) at Customer Appreciation Day earlier this month, IRMC's Institute for Healthy Living handed out samples of a delicious tabbouleh.  It makes for a great, light summer salad or side dish.  Try this recipe with fresh ingredients from the market.  You can also substitute your grain of preference, trading out the bulgar for rice, quinoa, or nothing at all.

This Saturday, a new artisan joins us at the market.  Dolores Lezark will be selling a variety of toothbrush rugs.  Stop in and take a look!


As always, you can swipe your credit, debit, or EBT card for market tokens in the market information booth.  Vendors who accept tokens will have a sign posted in their booths.

You can now also receive market reminders and sneak peeks of what produce is available, special activities, etc. straight to your phone!  To sign up for text reminders, text @indianaco to the number 81010 or follow this link.

See you at the market!


We are seeking sponsors for our Foodbucks incentive program at the market.  Under this program, customers using an EBT card at the market booth receive an equal amount in Foodbucks - doubling their market dollars.  This draws new customers to the market and increases access to fresh, local foods for low-income families in our community.

If you are a business or organization that is interested in sponsoring Foodbucks, please contact us at indianafarmmarket@gmail.com.  Special thanks to the Center for Community Growth for their past support and for getting this program started here in Indiana!
