We are just over a week away from opening day. Are you ready? Read on for resources about how to connect with us, tips for a successful shopping experience, what's in season, and how to get involved! We can't wait to get this season started!Opening Day
The first way to get excited about the 2019 market season is to check out our opening day event. We'll welcome new and returning vendors and you - our amazing customers - on Saturday, June 1 behind S&T Bank in downtown Indiana (8th & Church Streets). In addition to fresh, local foods, you can pick up a free reusable shopping bag in the market booth (while supplies last), explore many varieties of gorgeous day lilies, enjoy live music, and more!
Shopping Tips
Are you new to the market or just looking for ways to get the most out of your visit? Check out our tips for shopping the market. My top tips: Be flexible with your shopping list, try new things, and get to know your farmers!
What's In Season?
We are a producer-only market. This means that our farmers sell what they grow, and you are getting the freshest produce around! It also means that you probably won't find all of your favorites all of the time. Eating with the seasons takes some practice, but there is always something delicious to look forward to. Check out this seasonal calendar from PA Preferred for an idea of when local fruits and veggies will be available.
Get Involved
We are always looking for enthusiastic volunteers to assist with market projects! Our greatest need is for people to staff the market information booth at the Saturday market. Volunteers set up the booth, run the card swipe machine, distribute tokens, and provide information about the market. Training is provided.
Other opportunities are available, as well, whether you have a couple hours to give or would like to be involved on a monthly or weekly basis. To learn more or sign up as a volunteer, contact Jenna at indianafarmmarket@gmail.com. You can also ask to be added to our volunteer e-mail list and be notified when a new opportunity comes up.
