The Bloomington Community Farmers' Market is one of the area's most beloved traditions. Every Saturday from April through November, local vendors sell a variety of foods & goods that are grown and/or made in Indiana. You can shop for fresh fruits & vegetables, local dairy products like milk, yogurt, and cheese, eggs, as well as fresh and/or frozen meats including beef, pork, poultry, and lamb. You can also find locally made salsa, jam, jelly, honey, maple syrup, relish, and vinegar.
If you have a green thumb, be sure to explore the plant vendors — they offer a variety of non-invasive plants, flowers, and herbs, as well as non-food products like beeswax & bar soaps.
Don't forget to bring your appetite too. Several prepared-food vendors can be found at Farmers’ Market Plaza on the B-Line Trail, each serving up delicious food & drink items for attendees to enjoy while shopping the market. Most of the time the food sells out before the market ends, so get there early to ensure you get your favorite treat!
A festival-type environment is the best way to describe the Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market. Each week, there are several pop-up performances by buskers and musicians. Special food events, like salsa & soup contests and tomato & apple tastings, are a fun way to find new foods to enjoy and recipes to make.
Expand more than your taste buds by visiting the local business information booths, or meet with a naturalist at the market the first & third Saturday of each month.
