Bloomington Community Farmers' Market — Local services in Bloomington

@bloomingtonmarket may be the best farmers market I’ve been too (sorry Raleigh but you’re a close second). Some honourable mentions for our first go round.

@muddyforkbakery They mill their own grains and bake in a wood fired oven. I’m excited to take a baking lesson there one day.

@mkonofarm “swinery” doing pork raising right. Excited to try your products. I am a pork chop snob and there is nothing better than a thick cut excellent cut.

@breadandrosesgardens Excited to try your sauerkraut.

If you know anything about Indiana you know there is lots of corn here. The fact there was a line for McCullough’s Sweet Corn has me intrigued. Next time I’ll give it a try.

The onion lady was so just the sweetest person. I may only buy onions from her when in Indiana.

Honestly every urban kid should have an opportunity to come to an area like Bloomington to see how food is grown and meet farmers that care. They would learn that farming is a great and noble profession. AND there is nothing more delicious than food bought at the farmers market.

Its fun to go around and see what everyone has to share, it still has a ways to go. High Prices!

Living Roots is more reasonably priced and most consistent for quality veggies, as it is the fruit of loving young people who know how to holistically garden.

Other than that the other vendors have pretty food, but as mentioned high prices, little flavor, sprayed with chemicals(fruit, tomatoes, etc.) You can not actually depend on this market to feed you like in Europe, Asia, or south of the U.S. There it is such a delight to goto the market/bazar and you can actually enjoy it, the people arent clinging on to make enough money, they trust in life and in love with sharing life's abundance!! Plus they are available daily! Everything is very affordable and deliciously nutritious. America may be all about freedom but the markets here clearly show that there is a lot of healing and nourishing to be done with something as simple as getting a good...

First time going to this farmers market on Sept 2nd at 10:30am. There are a TON of vendors. Honestly, the layout doesn't really work to make sure you see all vendors. There were a couple of vendors on the sides of the market and back 3rd row that had no customers near it. The awning seems great for vendors (instead of a tent, but the majority of them were still in the sun). Plenty of customers! I found parking on the street nearby.

Plenty of fruits, vegetables, flowers, honey, cheese, meats, bread, jam and syrup, etc. I chose a flower bunch, cheese curds, sourdough bread, jam, watermelon, peppers, lettuce, a massive onion, etc.

They continue at this location through October. Then, they switch to the winter market location...
