Reviews for: Broad Ripple Farmers' Market

I Love my dog but I wouldnt take him at 100 pounds to the market. As I was walking thru last saturday two dogs were in a fight One Lady had three dogs on a leash that got tangled up on my legs. The market is for people to buy local fresh produce etc. I will never go to Broadripple again Binford is much better wider walking aeras and very few dogs. Please Please Please don't let broadripple go to the dogs. PS there is a dog park two blocks away I think the dog park should let vendors put up there tents in there

I love the people, the energy and the wonderful fresh fruit and vegetables and other items sold at the market.

They have every imaginable type of produce, meats, jams, jellies, pies. it is a very "complete" market!

The variety of produce items and the friendliness of the vendors are unparalleled. I come every week excited to see what they'll have next.

I live only a few blocks from the BR FM. What a joy that I can walk to purchase local food and other treats! I love the atmosphere and people that show up. It truly enhances our community.

I love buying local produce, and challenging our menu skills by using what is in season. I love the ambience; it's the only market to where we can take our Beagle...and it is the highlight of her week!

The great goodies! Breads, baked sweets, spreads, herbs, flowers, meats, cheeses, teas, and wonderful veggies! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with pets, music, mingling! Alllll good!

I love being able to go out on a Saturday morning and get my produce for the week. After completing that task, my husband and I enjoy a relaxing breakfast out in Broad Ripple. It is a great habit to have.

So I can get the freshest locally grown meats, vegetables and other sundry items. It's really the best.

I enjoy the variety of products available for sale. The produce freshness is always there. The vendors are all so friendly and helpful. The prepared food is delicious!!

It is close to my home and it has an amazing variety of products. I can usually find whatever I am looking for.

Great vendors, fresh produce, great location and atmosphere. We purchase from Feast Tamales, Capriole Cheese, Renees Bakery each week.

Great produce in a great neighborhood with walking trails and local businesses and artists.

So many wonderful items to choose from. All fresh and from local farmers and vendors. Prices are terrific and everyone is so knowledgeable about their products. Just love the BRFM!

It has good fresh Indiana foods,and it's a fun place to go. We come up from Columbus.

Great family and neighborhood market. Great vendors, entertainment and diverse shopping. Very interactive.

Great produce, meat, bakery goodies, people (both selling and buying), coffee, dog treats, you name it! And great acoustic entertainment! It's a community that has open arms.

It has the greatest variety of vendors and products of any I've seen, and offers wonderful entertainment almost every week. There is a true sense of community at the market.

It is true to its mission to bring local foods to the customers and the atmosphere there is invigorating.

Close and easy to get to, quality of produce, variety of produce, and My Dad's Sweet Corn ROCKS!!!!!

Oustanding selection; great people; pet friendly ... our granddaughters love the selection, the pets, and the music!

Love it! The place is happening, people are friendly, there is live music, and everyone brings their dogs. It is a great way to spend a Saturday morning!

They have a wonderful selection, good location and hours and everyone is friendly there!

Easy to shop--just big enough---great produce,honey,and flowers! The bread is fantastis---I buy way too much! Love the Lavender Guy! Great dogs, people and vendors. So much FUN

Great variety. Also has two of my favorite vendors: Capriole Goat Cheese and Seldom Seen Farms.

I just love going there to get fresh produce and honey! Fresh flowers too! It's close and convenient to me!

There is a wonderful variety of foods/veggies there, as well as entertainment and a virtual dog show every week!

The market is close by and provides a good selection of fresh produce from local growers. It feels like an event rather than a shopping trip - friendly vendors whom I recognize now; maple syrup, cut flowers, plants, food for pets, coffee and baked goods, not to mention the delicious smelling barbeque!

It is one of the few places in Indianapolis that I can get rare and organic foods like transparent apples. I love the fact that it supports farmers from Indiana and curtails development.

The market is a warm and friendly place to spend a Saturday morning sampling and appreciating the bounty. Every vendor provides the highest quality lovingly grown/crafted/created/prepared/produced items. I feel privileged to shop there knowing that my purchases are healthy, eco- friendly and help support their worthy endeavors.

The variety is good. The farmers are always helpful and friendly and the atmosphere is great. I miss it on the weeks when I am out of town. It's very friendly to all people short and tall and all animals (I once saw a woman with a bird in a cage on her back!)

It's convenient to everything happening in the Broad Ripple area...our vendors have the freshest and most wonderful selections of all indigenous produce/plants available in our beautiful state of Indiana. You'll never meet a better bunch of people. Every weekend is like a joyous family gathering. I love it!

the variety and consciousness to fresh and organic produce vendors. Also the uniqueness of produce available

Great website keeps us informed. Entertaining and fun place to go on Sat. mornings. Good quality and variety of vendors. Well organized.

I love how close it is to my house and the shear variety of things - It is a community event

Great farmers who care about the produce they are offering AND the people who are buying it. Also, great baked goods, honey, cheese, etc. The Broad Ripple Farmer's Market is my weekly "happy place"!

Being the self-contained Broad Ripple Village in the a large city of Indianapolis, the Broad Ripple Farmers' Market brings fresh produce, baked goods, education about sustainability and a sense of community that spirits thousands of neighbors out each week to enjoy. We live, work, play here...and we love our farmers' market.

The fusion of Art, knowledge to improve the environment, and fresh foods for my family are all the things that make each Saturday morning worth getting up early for. (Even for my newborn and my 7 year old!)

I love to go to the Broad Ripple Farmers' Market. I can get a cup of coffee, a muffin and buy wonderful locally grown/produced food, all the while surrounded by super friendly people and some dogs! Also, it is a great way to educate my 4 year old on the importance of eating and buying locally.

The Broad Ripple Farmer's Market is fantastic! I recently moved to Indy and accidentally stumbled upon the market one Saturday. Not only do I buy the majority of my produce there but also a variety of other non-perishable food products, dog treats, plants and bouquets and bird seed. The vendors are helpful and friendly, and other visitors to the market are amiable. I look forward to going every week!

It is full of fresh items, and the variety is awesome. Not all of it is food,but it is all local. Very important! Plus, it is a huge community event...everybody comes---and I mean EVERYBODY! Young, old, all varieties of people, kids, dogs. In addition to providing wholesome delicious stuff, it is an inspiration to lead a greener, more community-centered life. I am always bummed when it's over in October. BUT -- we have the Trader's Point market with some of the same vendors to help tied us over the winter.

They have a great variety of fresh and prepared foods. It is inspected by the local health department and handling practices seem to be good. Also all the vendors are very friendly and are willing to help you in any way.

High quality offerings, friendly merchants, friendly visitory, all around good fun on a Saturday morning.

It's great food, and I can get to know the people who grow the food. I like supporting the small farmers who are part of the local economy. Tis market has a community feeling.

I like to buy local. The fresh food tastes better. It's a very friendly place to be, even today in the pouring down rain everyone was smiling. I like to try the new products shown there also. Just like that hometown feeling

Fresh, local, organic produce and other items are offered at the BRFM. I start my Saturday morning there with coffee and a bread broduct, then shop for my veggies for the week. A great way to start my weekend.

This market has made a difference in our community - people gather and learn about going green, living and eating more healthily, and being creative in our approach to solving problems together.

BRFM has a wonderful selection of foods, a friendly neighbor atmosphere including dogs, and vendors whom we get to know and value.

It's got great produce, it's easy to get to by foot and it's where we catch up with what's happening with friends and neighbors.

Great market with great vendors! Great location also. I can bike the 9 miles to the market, get my exercise, and bring my fresh, local food home easily.

It is the BEST! I buy all of my produce, meat, eggs, bread there from March to October!

The vendors have great products right in the middle urban area. Fresh and friendly. They help make Saturday morning and wonderful beginning to the weekend!

Been around for a while - even before farmers' markets were trendy. Great local tradition. Excellent participation. Good for the community. Such a lovely Saturday morning ritual.

BRFM is a great marketplace filled with lots of unique and friendly vendors. They are a landmark in the community, and with their great outreach, they are really making a difference not only in the Broad Ripple Community, but in the larger Indianapolis metropolitan area.

the quality and the variety of the produce and other products sold. location and hip crowd, an added bonus.

It's the best place to find local produce (and treats) in the middle of the big city.

It's local, and the food is great. The market keeps the neighborhood feel of the area, and promotes community.

It's a great way to support local vendors and get some great fresh food- fun to go there!

i love the variety and the local/regional items. where else could you get poplar syrup? and i love that most vendors are flexible about quantities. there's only one of me, so i don't want to have to buy a whole pound of asparagus, for instance. i may need only two big tomatoes and a couple of small onions. no problem! and when i needed a pound of lavender on a day he didn't have it in bulk, the vendor brought it to the next market just for me. the live music and hot coffee are great, too!

It opens earlier in May than other markets and closes each fall later than all the other markets, thus enabling us to get local goods for a longer time.

The Broad Ripple Farmer's Market has great healthy food and other unique offerings. A well rounded market with something for everyone with varied merchants each weekend in a friendly atmosphere. I love the newsletter!

I love the small town atmosphere with the big city selection of the best products. It is worth my 30 mile drive to have the perfect Saturday morning shopping and camaraderie.

Broad Ripple Farmers Market has the biggest variety of merchants in the city - fresh fruit & vegetables, naturally fed beef, pork and lamb, bread, flowers, spices, herbs, etc. In a nutshell - it has everything!

I absolutely love everything that is offered at the Broad Ripple Farmers' Market. Every Saturday from May to October, I go and see what they have to offer weekly. Everything is fresh and reasonable in pricing. I support them and am thrilled when May comes around because you cannot find anything of the same caliber in the grocery. Everyone is so relaxed, they bring their dogs, kids and there is also music. Very enjoyable experience, I tell everyone I know to visit them.

Laziness. (It's in my neighborhood.) I'm not ashamed that I don't look further. If it ain't broke, don't. fix it.

We like to support local businesses, eat healthy local foods, and enjoy the festive atmosphere.

Broad Ripple Farmer's Market is truly a neighborhood/community market with fresh, Indiana grown produce, baked goods, fantastic goat cheeses and so much more. Wonderful venders and friendly shoppers. We always look forward to Sat. morning at the market, and that includes Farley, our dog, who always gets a special treat on market day.

Variety....very social environment...always run into several people I know...most importantly...the products are so tasty!

It's busy, bustling with lots of kids, critters, and grown ups too. I love it because I don't get funny looks when I ask how the food is grown, shipped (in the case of coffee, tea, etc.), and handled. I love it because all of my favorite farmers are there, and they know my name!

I love knowing where my food comes from and knowing the farmer. In a town of race cars, fast food chains, urban sprawl, the BR Farmer's Mkt gives me hope.

Great produce, baked goods and live music. A fun family atmosphere with stroller and dogs always welcome!

It's the best, lots of choices, great assistant Market Master and wonderful selection of delecious goods! Brady Hansel

It's one of the oldest, most established markets in Indy and supported by Broad Ripple neighborhoods.

The vendors are all fantastic. They know their frequent shoppers and greet them with a friendly smile each week. They all seem to truly believe in what they are doing - not just out to make a quick buck on a trend. It feels like a neighborhood gathering spot. It makes my Saturday morning complete.

One of the first neighborhood farmers markets. Stays true to items produced or grown lcoally. Great community event and dogs love it too!

They have some of the best produce, meats, cheeses, yogurt, and baked goods in town. Plus, I get the chance to visit with friends and neighbors there.

It's close, I always run into people I know, and it's got meat, breads, honey, music, lavender, cheeses and, oh, yes, great veggies.

awesome selection, great people, easy parking, reasonable prices what's not to support

All the vendors are nice and what they sell is always very fresh. Dogs are also welcome.

The Broad Ripple Farmer's Market is more than just a wonderful place to get local produce and talk to the gowers; it's a meeting place for the community. We have live music every week and wonderful fresh baked goods that we can enjoy while we get our produce and other food stuffs for the coming week. It's a please to meet, greet, and eat! :)

My Famer's Market has great produce, cheese, beef, chicken, honey, plants, baked goods, that are organic. All the products have a great and wonderful taste and I love the atmosphere of the market.

I love to go there on a Saturday with one of my dogs to check out what each vendor has & who is there. Everyone is so friendly. My dog always gets a treat from the local dog bakery that is set up there. I can get anything I want from a cup of coffee or organic tea, a fresh baked good to go with it from one of several area bakeries to of course whatever is in season. I love garden grown tomatoes & am unable to garden so it is the perfect place for that, plus there are those vendors that sell that thing I don't make like home made jam, barbeque sauce or different salsa & chutneys. It is always a feast for all the senses & I look forward to my Saturday mornings there.

The market has the best variety of local produce, flowers, meats, eggs, cheeses, and baked goods (many made fresh daily right in the village). One of the best things is that this market is easily accessible by bike or foot from adjacent neighborhoods, and other Indy neighboods via the Monon Trail that is a block away.
