What better way to support a community than by shopping local?

I love late spring throughout the summer, when farmers' markets come alive in Hendricks County, Indiana, but you don't need to wait until then to shop local and find the best products our destination has to offer. 

Local Grocers

The Hayloft interior

Hendricks County has two local market stores that are perfectly curated and sourced , featuring local Indiana brands.

These local markets are filled with essentials like cheeses, meats, sauces, produce and more to create a more intimate shopping experience focused on bringing local products to local communities. They include: 

International Markets

Avon Mexican Market

Hendricks County has a variety of international food stores that bring the community a taste of heritage and tradition.

Rooted in culture and flavor, these stores offer traditional products, spices and more:

Freshly Dairy Milk

Freshly Dairy

Freshly Dairy in Lizton offers the freshest pasteurized, non-homogenized milk from their cows. Freshly Dairy's milk comes in featured flavors, including vanilla, mocha, chocolate, strawberry and other seasonal flavors.

Products can be purchased through preorder on the Freshly Dairy website 'Purchase' page for on-farm pick up. You can also visit their barn and get assistance from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.

Fresh Produce

Beasley's barn market

My grandpa was a farmer, and I have family members who operate a seasonal fresh produce stand, so I really appreciate locally grown produce. There is something about that freshness that big-name grocers cannot replicate.

I love Indiana's fresh strawberries and sweet corn, which are staples in our house during the summer. Don't forget to check out these local Hendricks County Farmers Markets for locally grown produce:

Prime Cuts

Roots Market + Eatery

When the weather is nice, there is no better way to enjoy a perfect cut of meat than cooked to perfection on the grill.

These local butchers are true craftsmen, carving up prime cuts of meat along with other market goodies, including rubs, sauces, picnic salads and more:

Artisan-Baked Breads

Singing Crust Bakery
