Open since the year 2007, the Indiana County Farmers’ Market has seen changes in location, vendors, and offerings. Most significantly, in 2017 the Market became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization so it could further its mission of improving the community’s access to healthy and affordable local foods. Since then, the Market has seen growth in numerous ways, and 2023 has been a year to celebrate:
In 2023 the Indiana County Farmers’ Market:
22 – Held 22 weeks of market in Downtown Indiana, PA
16 – Had 16 local-only vendors including produce, meat, eggs, flowers, baked goods & more
9,833 – $9,833 worth of extra fresh, local food was redeemed by community members in need using Food Bucks and Market Money
