It’s Farmers Market Season in Indianapolis!

Although it might feel like many things have been canceled this summer, farmers markets in Indianapolis fortunately are forging ahead.

Despite everything, chickens keep laying eggs, plants keep growing and farmers keep doing what they do best: providing us with local, nourishing produce and other food to feed our families.

Due to COVID-19, farmers markets have had to make quite a few adjustments to the way they do business this season. Under each listing, you’ll find a short list of the new rules and regulations that each market has set in place. For more detailed information, check the market’s website or Facebook page before you visit.
