I really enjoyed this farmers market. It isn't the largest I've been too, but it had a nice mix of snacks/drinks and products. Every booth seemed to be high quality and every owner I interacted with was great. Parking was tough to come by, but that came as no surprise.

Excellent local farmers market! There is a variety of stands, including a good mix of local produce, specialty items, and hot food/coffee. There is plenty of parking at and nearby the market, but getting there early helps beat the large crowd! We buy lots of our weekly produce here. Many stands take card but some are cash only.

Had interesting edible items. Can taste some of them. Some organic, and some I dont know, but you can ask. And we did make purchases. You should visit. From 8a to 12n on Saturdays.

One of the best Indy farmer's markets. Large assortment of local vendors selling organic vegetables, fruits, honey, delicious breakfast items, pies, dips, local coffee, sweet treats, breads and pasta plus live music! Lots of nearby free parking options. Dog & stroller friendly.

This particular farmers market is enormous! But I still felt myself wanting more. Although there was music, some food and a covered pavilion to sit and eat in the shade, it would be really nice to incorporate some additional activities for kids… bubbles, chalk, face painting, or even just a handful of booths geared more toward them. I also feel like there’s still a ton of open space left being unused. Plenty of room for more tents, food trucks, tables with chairs and umbrellas, etc. I personally went for hanging plants but didn’t find any.

Amazing produce and food vendors! Also one of the best places to take your dog and get your knives sharpened & repaired! In October the starting date goes back an hour & in November it goes indoors until Spring!

Always a good time with live music and good food. Great selections on fresh vegetables and a lots of other things. Super nice vendors would highly recommend.

Love the fruit and vegetable selection, the breakfast/brunch options (especially La Chinita Poblana), and there are usually a couple things our toddler can do while we walk around. Everyone is friendly. Parking lot is almost always full but the turnover is enough we always find a spot. That said, we've parked right across the street and walked over if it didn't feel worth it, especially in the summer. Knocking off 1 star only because there are several vendors who mark up their prices from normal retail simply because of the event.

In Europe, markets (farmer's markets as we call them here) are a staple of everyday life. Here they are kind of a novelty but I think we are slowly creeping toward staple. In our house we like to see the market as a necessity. We try to buy only at the market and not from the grocery store: eggs, bread, jams, sausage/bacon and fresh flowers for home decoration. We easily find these things at this market year-round (ok, maybe not the flowers). We enjoy purchasing seasonal fruit and vegetables that we don't grow at home or don't grow enough of. Berries are a favorite in the summer in which multiple vendors provide. Sweet corn is reallllly popular at this market. You will wait in a line. We enjoy purchasing and eating breakfast the market but we find it is expensive for the portion you get - no matter the vendor. Jason Michael Thomas has delicious breakfast sandwiches. In 2021 the market was not in Broad Ripple 'proper' and that ruffled some feathers. I was personally very pleased to see it at its temporary home at 2nd Presbyterian as I live only a few blocks away. Everyone that works at the market (market staff, vendors, volunteers...) I have found very friendly and inclusive of everyone in the community. The market's instagram pack is very usual as a way to see a market 'preview'. I plan ahead what I want to buy based on the preview. Our young daughter loves to join us for shopping and a bit to eat... and in the Summer the real attraction are the dogs. So many cute dogs! The live music is a great addition. We buy breakfast and head over to the tables near the music and make a great morning out of it. Music is continued at the Winter market as well (which is currently located in the vacant Macy's). I hope to see this market continue to expand. We enjoy it very much. My only ask is that the folks running the trash/recycling be a little less condescending when it comes to sorting rubbish.

One of my favorite farmers markets in Indiana. The space is grand. There are many vendors lining the perimeter and there are even vendors towards the center of the space now. The blacktop in the center is a nice place to enjoy the food from the vendors that have ready to eat food for purchase. There are vendors who sell cheese, baked goods, fresh fruit and vegetables, outdoor plants, indoor plants, jams, pickled veggies, breakfast food, pizza, tacos, and coffee. It is a one stop shop full of quality goods. In the wintertime they move the farmers market indoors.

I've always loved the vendors here. The market moves around, but I like getting my food from local vendors that I know. Relationships with the people that grow and raise animals that I eat are extremely important to me. Just today Norman explained the difference between a few of his Potato varieties and how some are good for baking, others good to dice up. Mandy, at Schott farms, lives by a simple principle of no fillers and all organic feed for the chickens. The apples from the orchard, the bison from the rancher, local lettuce, kale, honey. I think we can all eat local and live better because of it.

I always come to the market every Saturday morning. There is a large parking lot and we never have problems getting somewhere to park. In the summer it's generally 8 AM - 12 PM. Very dog friendly! The vendors will change week to week occasionally, so check out their instagram to see if your favorite spot will be there that week. My favorite spots to stop are for pastries, breakfast wraps, and to pick up a treat for my dog at "Dog Wants" There is a separate dining area covered down a path. There's generally a local band playing music there as well to enjoy while you eat. I'm sure you would be able to find something for everyone in your group!

What's not to love about a farmer's market, especially one in Broadripple?! Some parts that make this one so great: -dog friendly! Of course use caution to make sure your pup isn't turning booths into an all you can eat buffet, but furry friends are welcome! -on the dog note, there were 2 different dog vendors when I was here, which as someone who is obsessed with my dog, I really appreciated! -there is a variety of vendors! I feel that this market focuses on quality of booths rather than quantities. The result is a unique variety of goods, each booth being different than the last -everyone is friendly. Seriously. Shoppers and vendors a like were enjoying the weather and the Indianapolis culture. Street parking is available, it fills up but most people don't camp out all day. Cheers to shopping local!

A great farmers market in the Meridian Kessler area. There's a range of produce, baked items, poultry, flowers and food items. There s plenty of parking and just a short walk to the market. There isn't anywhere to really sit but we brought a blanket and sat down in the grass!

I love farmers markets! Thankfully Indy has them year round, but there is something special about being able to go and check one out outside and take in all the sights. I've seen posts about this farmers market online and have always been curious about it. Finally made the plunge and decided to go check it out. It's located in the old Broadripple high school parking lot and there's plenty of places to choose from. It's been stifling hot as of late, but I'm not mad, when you first walk into the farmers market the natural born juicers truck is there for you to pick something up from. If you haven't tried them yet, please do. I love the green juice because it's refreshing but you don't feel like you are drinking dirt. The whole market is spread out and there are so many different options! I picked up some fresh produce from an Amish stall, fresh eggs from a farm down in Bloomington, pots and pans were there with hand pies and cold brew coffee. Awesome experience and I'll be a weekly customer for some staple items

This is nice and clean farmers market at broad ripple. People are strictly requested to wear mask if they forgot their mask they can buy at enterance. Easy parking I loved thai cold coffee at Hubbard and cravens. Get some extra for to go you won't find thai cold coffee at their actual coffee place it is only available here at farmers market. Hmm what should we eat for breakfast?Go get egg cheese sandwich from Skillington farms 5 out 5. Their bread is amazing. Overall 5 out 5.

A beautiful place to spend your Saturday morning! There are many farmer's markets to choose from in Indy, but here are four reasons why I love the Broad Ripple Farmer's Market: 1. DOGS EVERYWHERE! If anything, this is a great place to come see all sorts of beautiful critters. 2. You are right by the Monon Trail, many great brunch destinations, breweries, and other things to do. Making a trip to the farmer's market can turn into a day long outing. 3. There are always a good amount of vendors, at least 30! From pretzels to gluten free bakery, to dog treats, to fresh cut flowers, you are going to find something for you. 4. Hello, it's a great place for breakfast! You can easily find something for everyone in your group. I recommend scoping out all the options before committing to a breakfast item. Some things to note: 1. There are not many tables to sit down and enjoy your finds. There are usually a few tables by the music, but again, it's limited. 2. Parking is a little chaotic. I recommend parking a few streets away (on Compton street) and take a short walk to get there).

I just can't say no to a farmer's market. What makes this one special? It's history and amazing set of bizs: - Circle City Kombucha (try the new Concord!) - Roamers (new biz with yummy, hot pink beet hummus) - Nicey Treat (creative popsicles) - Broad Ripple Chip Co - Hubbard & Cravens Coffee And about twenty others! I'm excited to come back again and spend more time the second time around. There was a bit of live music and a nice crowd. Would love to see flowers for purchase as well!

New location... Pandemic procedures... a bit confusing, but still fun. I was expecting a bit more produce than there was, but I purchased quite a few goodies to munch on. Unfortunately the lady at Byrne's Pizza was incredibly rude, chastising me for not pre-ordering pizza... Heck, I didn't know, this is new to me too, so maybe a bit of patience. Yet she was overly sweet to the next customer, explaining all sorts of things and offering to call ahead to the actual restaurant to pick up a specialty pizza... weird... Like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. A shame really as this is one of my favorite pizza spots. I was eventually able to purchase one of their extra pizzas from the gentleman also working then stand, but this leaves a sour taste with me for sure. There were a lot of plant sales going on, but most of those stands had long lines. I scored some nice goat cheese. Also X'chocol art supplied me with some delicious caramel almonds and a big assortment of chocolates... omg... eat the chocolates with a glass of red wine for even more impact... just a suggestion.

I love farmers markets, and this is a good one. Lots of good produce and products to take home for cooking, live music, plus a nice selection of food and drinks to enjoy right away. I really enjoy the pupusas from 3 in 1 Restaurant, which are made with cornmeal, so they are gluten free. Note: get there early to ensure you get what you want, because several places like Native Breads (also gluten free) often sell out early.

I love farmer's markets. This one has a bit of everything and is in the heart of Broad Ripple. It is a favorite Saturday morning outing for our family. Some of my favorites at this farmers market: * there is always live music * doggies are welcome * the vendors - they are some of the best - some of which you may have seen at Yelp events! - Revival Almond Butter - Simpson Family Farms (beyond organic meats!) - Wildflower Ridge Honey - Rene's Bakery - Amelia's Bakery - Nicey Treats - Fermenti Artisan - My Dad's Sweet Corn This is only a small portion of the list - check out the web site and you'll see many more vendors. It is a fun place to be Saturday morning. Tips: - The market is in the high school parking lot - there is parking and I have always found a spot in the parking lot. But many will also park on the surrounding streets. You can park in Handicap parking spots for the farmer's market - there are some that are reserved for handicap parking - those are marked as "farmer's market handicap parking" - get there early if you can - less crowded. - many vendors have samples - and are happy to answer any questions you may have. - wear sun screen on sunny days - not much shade here.

Is the the absolute BEST farmers' market you're ever going to see? No. Does it do the job of providing a large variety of local eats, sweets, drinks, plants, and misc items? Absolutely. It's always an awesome feeling waking up Saturday morning and going to the local farmers' marketing, supporting local! What I love is the variety of items available. Breads/pastries, flowers/herbs/plants, veggies, honey/pollen, dog treats, juices/coffees/teas, etc. And the organizer does a great job at not overdoing one items. There's usually only one or two of each type of vendor to ensure that there isn't a huge price competition. While most veggies/fruits aren't in season, expect many more homemade items you wouldn't normally think of when you think "farmers' market." Parking is never an issue for me; the prices are great compared to lots of non-local items in the grocery stores; and it's always great to talk with the vendors to hear their stories and passion for the products!

Great space at BRHS for this! There's parking for customers and walkable for those who live in Broad Ripple! I love that farmer's markets are dog friendly because it let's you leisurely stroll and knock out walking your dog and shopping for groceries. This one is probably one of my favorite because it has a great mix of local farmers and local businesses. Retailers such as Circle City Kombucha, Nicey Treat, Walking Waffle Co, Pots and Pies, and Three Dog Indy are here. I've never left the BRFM empty handed!

Absolutely love this market. It's pretty big, conveniently located, and there's a great variety of produce, meats, and other groceries that are reasonably priced. In fact, it's hard to stop buying once you start! Some tips for first timers and those coming during the "COVID era": - Come early! - Familiarize yourself with vendors prior to arrival - Bring cash just in case - Bring a mask (they may not let you in without one) - Park by the Glendale movie theaters (much easier in-and-out) - This one may be obvious but...bring your own grocery bag

Farmer's Market season. I like to explore and support them. This weekend was my first visit to Broad Ripple Farmer's Market. Parallel parking was tight, but there is a one-way street to park on the school's lot. The market is a long stretch along the east parking lot with angles of vendors at the ends. A vendor was selling prepared meals that smelled delicious. I particularly like the 100% maple syrup booth; the husband said that his wife was marketing at the Carmel's Farmer's Market, but I did not see her booth earlier that morning. Less than 10 booths were similar at the Broad Ripple and Carmel's markets. I like the Carmel's market because it is closer to me, easier to park, and vendors spread out in more space. A musician was playing in the small seating area.

There is always an excellent variety of prepared foods, produce, flowers, and more! It is a great way to spend a Saturday! The only issue is that if you are not there by an early time, you will have a pretty hard time finding parking. Get there early, you won't regret it!

I love love love this market! I usually drag omg my teenage daughter and we will have breakfast from one of the food trucks while we walk and shop ! We went a week ago and fell in love with all of the beautiful flowers that are out this season! I had to pick me up a couple along with the breakfast pizza from Byrnes , a walking taco for the toddler ( but I may have eaten most of it ) , a breakfast sandwich , and a strawberry lemonade and iced coffee ! I love the kombucha options along with all of the fresh veggies! I just love the community , live music, and personal touches of each vendor. Such a great energy here

Before I moved to Indy, I scoured a lot of Instagrams to uncover the local scene and flavors. The BR Farmers Market was one of the first Instas that I immediately fell in love with: gorgeous people with their puppies, glorious veggies and fresh fruits, beautiful bouquets of flowers, and plenty of food trucks to satisfy everyone's tastebuds, even your Midwest grandma's! Knowing what I know about farmers markets, I hopped on my bike to avoid car parking and peddled my way down the Monon to check it out last weekend. I was surprised that there wasn't designated bike parking, or rather, more adequate bike racks to accommodate all of the cyclists; I had to find the most accessible handrail to lock up to. That was a bit awkward, but not terrible. But on to the important stuff! Since this was my first visit, I meandered past each and every stand to get an idea of the vendors and their offerings. I was immediately greeted by an animal shelter and nearly walked away with two kittens! Thank goodness I was on my bike, otherwise I really would have brought them home! Continuing through the market, as described before, there were so many lovely local wares: veggies, fruits, cheese, honey, baked goods, hot sauces, and everything in between! I made sure to stop for a breakfast taco and then followed it up with a waffle, just to balance the morning out. Overall, I love this market. You can feel the pride emanating from the vendors and the appreciation from the locals for the wonderful local products. You know where to find me on Saturday mornings now! Maybe I'll bring a kitten home next weekend...but first, tacos.

This farmer's market has both summer AND winter hours which is truly unique. During the warmer months, you can find this market in the Broad Ripple High School parking lot with LOTS of options for locally-sourced and produced items (dog treats, breads, various kinds of beverages, produce, meats, flowers, household items, ready-to-eat food items, and more). This is a dog-friendly market, and I have never been to a vendor that wasn't kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about their products. Most (if not all) vendors are open to and encourage you using your own produce and grocery/goods bags which is a wonderful bonus to shopping here. You can even find live music and some places to sit and enjoy the hustle and bustle of a summer farmer's market. During the colder months, you can find the Broad Ripple Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings inside Liter House located in South Broad Ripple (SoBro area) off of Winthrop Avenue. This time of year the market is not dog-friendly, but they still have a decent range of items available as well as music and ready-to-consume foods and beverages. They also accept SNAP/Fresh Bucks throughout the year which is an amazing way to help our entire community thrive off of wonderfully made/grown local goods. I am so thankful to live in an area of the nation that provides me with locally-sourced goods throughout the year.

Farmers markets have really exploded in central Indiana. It seems like every city (and within Indianapolis, every neighborhood) has its own farmer's market. It makes me think that there are just too many of them. How can there be enough farmers to have a presence at all these farmer's markets? Some of them are really small (10 vendors or less) and have a limited selection. However, the Broad Ripple Farmer's Market has no such problem. It is one of the oldest (and therefore, biggest) farmer's markets so it is well-attended. If you drive in, parking can be a bit of a problem. There is limited parking in the school lot, but if you drive down Compton, you should be able to find a parallel parking space within 1/4 mile. What brings a lot of people (myself included) to farmer's markets is the ready-to-eat food. I treat them like locally sourced food courts. The Broad Ripple Farmer's Market has no less than half-a-dozen stands that sell prepared foods for breakfast. Breakfast tacos, pizzas, sandwiches. Baked goodies, coffee, juices. Even desserts.

I enjoy spending my Saturday mornings at the market. I can start it off with coffee and breakfast as I walk around and find what I need. Produce, cookies, smoked seasonings, jam, so many good things! A couple weeks ago, the power went out and we walked around with flashlights. I am thankful that the market continues in the winter. I love supporting local.

The first farmer's market of the season was on Saturday and they had so many vendors! They have a nice new set up at a nearby church that has a lot of room for social distancing. They have so many produce stands, cheese, and ready to eat food! The breakfast waffles and pizzas looked so tempting but I ended up with a big jar of dill pickles from That Pickle Guy! He was so nice and let me sample some of his pickles before buying, and they were delicious.

I fall more and more in like with the BR Farmer's Market after each visit. Unlike other local markets, they have a nice selection of local produce at fairly reasonable prices versus some markets that are dominated by ready to eat and packaged items. Plus, some of my favorite local businesses are there. Hellllllooooo to Nicey Treat, LICK, Home Ec, Amelia's, and Natural Born Juicers. During my visit today, I snagged some melons, oddles of squash, salad mix, and blueberries. Happy, healthy (not really, but trying :-) me! Definitely making this spot part of my weekly grocery shopping routine. This place is dog friendly so expect lots of furry children. If you come late be prepared to park on the street. Happy local shopping!

Oh BRipp Farmer's Market, how I love thee. The best part of my Saturday mornings is always the farmers market. During the winter, the market takes place indoors and has a smaller selection, but there is still plenty of fresh food available for purchase. The summer market really shines (no pun intended) though, because there are at least two, maybe three times the amount of vendors present? While there is a large variety of typical booths selling fresh produce and meats, there is also a number of vendors selling pre-made foods and other goods. One of my favorite vendors is Pots and Pans, they are always serving up something delicious and never disappoint. Oh and did I mention, dog central? So many fluffy canine companions, and (almost) always getting along with one another. It's heaven. There's also live music every week, rain or shine. You can grab some breakfast and sit at the table while enjoying the music! It's also a nice place to people-watch (and dog-watch, if you're me). The Broad Ripple Farmer's Market is one of my absolute favorite things to do in all of Indianapolis. If you haven't been, it's worth it, trust me.

There are few things I enjoy more than a good farmer's market. Broad Ripple Farmer's Market is one of my main three I turn to throughout the year. The stash of dogs and fresh vegetables is plentiful. It's been fun over the past few years to see these markets serve as a small business incubators - I remember trying my first Hoosier Momma taste at a market, Nicey Treat when they were a simple roll-around cart and so on and so forth. Other businesses you'll find: Three Days in Paris, Circle City Soups, LICK, Circle City Sweets, and dozens more:) I visited the market last weekend and found only one tweak I would make - could you pretty please bring in an ATM? Other than that, continue the wonderful live music, friendly familiar faces and delicious brunch eats.

Love the BR Farmers Market!! It is easy and convenient to get to. Lots and lots of parking nearby and easy to walk to from anywhere in BRIP. Lots and Lots of vendors. Plenty of produce to choose from, many organic local meat stands and organic free range eggs. Not all of the farmers are organic but there are plenty that are and they are all very nice to chat with about their produce. There are also a few restaurants serving food. Pizza, Tacos, Traditional Breakfast Items, as well as Juices. There are stands for foods to consumer later like Kraut, Peanut Butter, Pesto, oh and pert food/treats. Also there is usually live bluegrass music playing. Its a wonderful place to go. its my go to for produce on the weekend. Lots of great people and good fun. Oh and it is pet friendly, some of the vendors also have little doggy bowls with water. Shop Local Support Local Farming!

I had the most inexplicably liberating (and colorful) experience at the Broad Ripple Farmers Market this morning.. Indy is an incredible city, but sometimes you need a break from the hustle and bustle of a metropolitan area. As "millennial" as this sounds, it was wonderful to simply see folks embracing Community at the Broad Ripple Farmer's Market. Now, what people really care about.. the food/drink offered at the market. My first stop was Hubbard & Cravens to snag a Thai Iced Coffee, which the local coffee shop offers exclusively at the Broad Ripple Farmers Market. This was just what I needed to caffeinate for the day. Although I "browsed" just about every stand - from fresh produce and baked goods to prepared foods and gorgeous wild flowers. Ultimately, I chose to spend the majority of my allotted budget at Farm to Product, where I purchased the homemade roasted red pepper hummus and kale bowl. The produce photos attached to this post are from a stand that was "unmarked", but they truly had the most beautiful fresh veggies. This farmers market is a staple to the funky-fresh community of the Broad Ripple Village, and I commend all who put effort into maintaining it.

NICE. Quite a few fun stands- there were a number of stands with veggies, or fruits--even specific fruits, like an apple stand. I liked that there were a number of ready-made things--a few bread companies (Amelia's, YES) and Circle City Sweets (didn't know they now make jams. Another YES--I got peach vanilla, which I can highly recommend), Chinita Poblana was there in the morning with cactus and egg tacos and steak and egg tacos, and a few others. Got some super fun flowers from one flower vendor that had colorful more country type flowers. There was one ceramics artist, and a couple vendors that had different kinds of poultry, meat, etc. Nice stuff and not too crowded.

This was the first time going and was very impressed. There is a large variety of fruits, vegetables, pet snacks, honey, maple syrup, ready to eat foods, pies...I could go on. The tents are spread out enough to remain social distanced. It is hit and miss if the vendor will take cards, so have some cash ready just in case. This may be one of the better farmers markets in Indy.

Went this past Saturday. Great mix of ready-to-eat stuff + food trucks (many of the names you'll recognize, some you might not) and vendors/farmers selling their goods as well. Pro-tips: Go early. Even though I went on a Saturday when it ended at noon, by the time I left at 10:30 some of the booths were already being taken down. This also means you're less likely to encounter a vendor running out. Eat beforehand: Otherwise passing by the dozens of bakeries and food trucks will be way too tempting. Parking is surprisingly adequate but be patient as many Broad Ripple residents will be walking in and out.

Such a great farmer's market, as so many have already said. A wide selection of veggies, fruits, and herbs from real farmers. Also some delicious breads - including my favorites from Amelia's! Several options for ready-to-go snacks and meals, too, as well as fabulous coffee. The vendors are friendly and patient, though it pays to get here early before it gets really crowded if you want to ask questions. Also, my maps app confused the heck out of me - the market is at the high school. You can park there, or there is plentiful street parking (free) in the neighborhood near the school. All in all, an Indy classic well worth checking out.

I went to Broad Ripples farmers market behind the school on Saturday and loved it! I'm used to going to Carmel's market, which is a quite larger than this, but the selection here was just as great! It was busy from the second it opened at 8 AM and there were dogs everywhere! I ended up stocking up on some vegetables and flowers. I also stopped by Rene's bakery booth for some fresh croissants. I will definitely be back next weekend and every weekend after during the summer!

It's a grocery store. It's a breakfast joint. It's a community activism locale. It's a dog petting zoo. What ISN'T it? Pretentious, overpriced, or boring. Yes, there are vegetables and fruit. But there's also bread, pastries, hot breakfast, honey, pretzels, frozen meat, biking and healthy living booths, and dogs, dogs, dogs! Easy to bike to, just a couple blocks from the Monon. Lots of parking in the lot and adjoining streets. And both vendors and most customers are nice and happy to be there. One of my favorite places to go on a Saturday morning.

My friends are my family, and I love all of them dearly. When we get to spend time together, I'm a happy guy. I'm a little older and a lot more out of shape than my friends though. They like to bike up to the Carmel Farmers Market on Saturday mornings, and I let them. If they decide to go to Broadripple, though, I'm all in. See.. that's only half the distance and I can make that trip. Carmel... I'd be Ubering back and ditching my bike. I actually prefer the Broadripple Farmer's Market over the Carmel one. I think that the Carmel Farmers Market tries too hard, if that makes sense. You see fancy booths and manicured green spaces at their market. Not in Broadripple. No sir. In Broadripple there is no grass.. just a parking lot behind the high school. The vendors set up in one easy to walk through line. You start at one end, look to your left and walk down the path. At the end? Turn around and repeat. There.. you've seen it all! It's super easy to see what everyone has, and it's not confusing if you forget who has what. I'm so happy that we have the Broadripple Farmer's Market, and that it's open every Saturday beginning in May and lasting through September. I don't get here as often as I want to, but if I've got friends biking up, changes are I'll be there too.

I always enjoy the winter market at Glendale. Tried to go to summer market at 2nd Presbyterian at about 9:30 and traffic situation in church parking lot was horrible. Took me 20 minutes to navigate the lot and could not locate a space. Tight parking lot and many people looking for spots stop and wait while waiting on others to return to their cars and vacate a parking spot This of course holds everyone else up. Police on duty on Meridian to control traffic flow Finally decided it was not worth the effort and went to Binford market instead. Disappointed since the BR market is always so good.

Good, but not great farmer's market. Be it riding your bike or driving your car, parking close to the market is a bear. The market is hidden behind BR High School, so space feels limited and squashed. Rest assured, you can get whatever you're searching for: a limited selection of organic fruits and veggie, specific cuts of pork and beef, kimchee, BBQ sandwiches, baked goods (bread, danish, muffins, croissants) from local bakeries that are often GF/Vegan, wild flowers, crepes, coffee, iced drinks, popsicles, herbs, teas. I dunno. So much of the goods at this market appear to be processed foods -- I'd love to see more fruits and veggies offered in a less congested space. Right now, the Carmel Farmer's Market by the Palladium is our top choice. It's extremely well laid out, has a designated area to park your bike, and has far more fruit/veg options. Next to try, Zionsville's Farmer's Market!

I'm obsessed with the Broad Ripple Farmer's Market, and I can't believe it took me so long to go to it! I could spend hours walking around. There are so many great booths offering local food and goods! Some of my favorites are the jalapeño popper dip from Dark Side of the Spoon(deliciously spicy), the Chèvre with herbs from Caprini Creamery(one of the best goat cheese I've had), and the spicy tomato jam(great on burgers and as an addition to charcuterie plates) from Home Ec. Preserves! I suggest going hungry! They have breakfast pizza, tacos, and freshly baked goods! You can eat a fabulous breakfast while you're shopping!

Such a cute and well-organized farmer's market. In the summer it's in a church parking lot but they direct you well. I'd recommend bringing a bag. There are so many local vendors. Coffee, ice cream, cheese, popcorn, flowers. Totally worth the trip!

There's nothing I love more than fresh produce. (Okay, that's a lie, Star Wars is better than fresh produce, in my opinion.) But I seriously love the BRFM. Excellent prices, friendly people, and the most delicious fruits, veggies, eggs, cheeses, and meats. The BRFM also sends out a newsletter complete with recipes and ideas for what is going to be featured at the upcoming markets. I bought all of the ingredients to make ratatouille yesterday for under $10. You cannot beat that! The quality of produce is unsurpassed. I like riding my bike to the market, because you can sign up to win one of the monthly prizes they offer for using greener transportation. It's seriously fantastic, and this is coming from a Chicago girl who has never set foot anywhere near a farm, and used to think farms were "icky," it gives me a whole new appreciation for the hard work and passion these men and women put into their products. Not to mention the delicious dishes I can come up with using the freshest ingredients.

Broad Ripple Farmers market regularly restores my faith in humanity. I have yet to see a negative interaction between vendors or customers. Come early to beat the crowds! My favorite spots are Pots and Pans and Circle Kombucha, but I find something new I enjoy each week. A little local love goes a long way.

The most diverse farmers market in Indianapolis. This market offers many options for produce, baked goods, ice cream, pasta, honey, olive oil... I can go on. I go primarily for produce, meat and eggs. Except for one thing - I have to have a warm pretzel with jalapeño mustard. It's a great vegan breakfast. Come for breakfast, stay to shop and listen to the weekly musicians who liven up the atmosphere.

I looooove going to this Farmers market! The location is perfect and there are lots of vendors at this market. It is made up of 2 streets and there are vendors on both sides! You can get fruits, veggies, waffle desserts, ice cream, lunch, coffee, potions, dog treats, etc. Some of my favorite vendors are Gene Wilds apple cider and apples, Nice ice cream, Hubbard and Cravens and the waffle dessert place!!! We also love that people can bring their dogs! My little girl is obsessed with dogs so it's always fun to watch her follow them around and pet them! Most vendors take cash and cards!!! Every Saturday morning until 12pm!

Today was my first time at the Broad Ripple Farmers Market and I loved it! Located next to Broad Ripple High School, parking can be very challenging to find. Be prepared to park a considerable distance away from the venue and walk! It was a very hot day and I was a bit apprehensive about spending considerable time in the heat. However, all of the vendors made it worth it! I was able to try delicious samples and take advantage of the fresh produce available. The farmer's market is also children and doc friendly. If you looking for a wonderful way to shop locally, I highly recommend visiting Broad Ripple farmers market!

Its small and not very big either. But, it is a farmers market. And, I'm sort of from the farm. Actually I'm totally from the burbs - but, my dad grew up on the farm. He's an apple man so so am I. I love riding my bike to the Farmers Market on Saturday morning in the crisp Autumn. Sometimes I buy - corn if its still available like today. Or something else. Mostly apples I get. This is one of the only places in the city where I can find Northern Spies. They have a lot of MF heirloom tomatoes.

I am so excited that I finally got to make it to the market. I was hoping the place that makes fermented goodies was there but they weren't. It was so chilly so mission find hot drinks were a go. I enjoyed a nice pumpkin spice latte and the kiddos enjoyed their hot chocolate. It was smaller amount of vendors there but still lots of fun. Kiddos enjoyed seeing all the dogs, goodies, making new friends, and music. I am so excited to get salmon from the Wild Alaska Salmon & Seafood. I definitely recommend bringing cash on hand as not all places accept credit cards. We love our bread from Amelia's and cheese from Tulip Tree, the newer beer cheese is awesome! Our visit is not complete without delicious juice from Natural Born Juicers. Seriously couldn't decide on juice or their cider or hot cacao. A wonderful time and lovely goodies! Bonus I found parking easily :)
