Indy Summer 2020 Farmers Market Guide
Summer is here and even though social distancing and wearing a mask is still of the utmost importance, that doesn’t mean we can’t make the most of summer this year! Warmer days to me automatically mean it’s farmers’ market season so I’ve put together this quick guide to the Indianapolis Farmers’ Markets for the 2020 season. I love buying and supporting local as much as I can and it is a great way to know exactly where your produce and other items are coming from and even meet the people who make and grow them! I’ve Some of my favorite things to get at farmers’ markets are honey, breads, and even flowers but I’ve also seen herbs, seasonings, ice cream, and kombucha!
