We already know that the long trend in growth in farmers markets
continued this year as
more farmers markets opened,
including even winter farmers markets,
such as
Indy Farmers Market in Indianapolis:
And it's not just about food, it's about the local food chain and economy, and "in that food chain you find relationships."
Henderson said she wasn’t looking to start a business when she started Indy Winter Farmers' Market. Her efforts, she joked, were more about making Indianapolis into a place she wanted to live.But on that first day at 25th and Central, with people lined up outside the door, she realized her goals were similar to those of many others in the community. Her market and others like it, she explained, are about more than food.
"It’s not just about the market," she said. "We should be proud to be Indiana, the Heartland, a farm state."
