Summer Roundup: Farmers Markets in Hendricks County Indiana
Published on
You know it is summertime in Indiana when sweet corn abounds, and you see farmers markets popping up everywhere.
Hendricks County, Indiana, offers up seven spectacular farmers markets, each with its own distinctive style and farm-fresh offerings, among other goodies.
We visit each of them throughout the summer, and I love how each brings something different and offers a variety of themed weeks!
Avon Farmers Market
The Avon Farmers Market is held every Tuesday, June through August.
In addition to delicious local produce, you will find several food vendors, tasty baked goods, lots of handmade creations and a Kids’ Zone. Our kids love playing the games while we grab an afternoon summer snack.
Hours: Tuesdays - 4 to 7 p.m., June 2 through Aug. 25, except June 30.

Plainfield Farmers Market
The Plainfield Farmers Market is every Wednesday from May 20 through Sept. 16. This market hosts numerous vendors offering local produce, handmade crafts and food trucks. It often has live entertainment and special themed days throughout the season as well.
The Just Be Kind Club offers children and seniors a 1 sprout buck each week (worth $3) when they visit the Plainfield Farmers Market. They can spend it each week or save it for a larger purchase. We love that this gives our kids a little autonomy on what to purchase and teaches them how to utilize our local market.
