Does anyone know of any farmer's markets in or around Fort Wayne. I love getting produce at a farmer's market but haven't been able to find any since I've moved here.
There is a farmers market right outside of Columbia City it is right off of HWY 30 and is called Hillger's Farm....Also, here i Fort Wayne at the corner of Wallen and Hillagas there is a Apple Orchard that sells apples,honey, and other thing but they do not open till Augest or so....
Barr Street Market is on the weekends. This is downtown. Also, you have Schumckers on Dotie Road, which is off of 37 past Meijers, Walmart and Kohls. They have a lot of produce during the summer, which is grown locally. Also, out 37 past the turnoff for Schumckers is Kurtz Farm which has seasonal produce. I believe there is a produce market on 30 going toward Columbia City.
I know there's on on the southside of town, but I don't know the address. I went there a few times last year. I'm horrible with remembering street names...sorry. It's a case of I can get there, but I can't tell anybody else how to get there....lol. I got a bunch of voucher for that market through WIC. You may be able to call them and get the information. The number is ###-###-####. I really like using farmer's markets in the summer. The produce is so much better. I'll ask around and keep you posted.
If you take Lima road North out of Fort Wayne, just past Huntertown and turn onto Old 3 North, there is a pretty big farmer's market on the right hand side about 1 mile up. They have excellent produce and really great prices. I can't think of the name of it right now.. It's probably only about 10-15 min north of town.. not a bad drive really.
