Very! To sell at the Indiana Farmer's Market, a vendor must produce their goods in Indiana County or an immediately adjacent county...you cannot get much more LOCAL than that!

The market originally started in the 1970s and lasted until the late 1990s. The market was successfully reinstated in 2007. In the year 2017, the ICFM officially became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization to further its mission.

YES! We are proud to say that we are a Producer-Only market.

The vendors who sell you goods are the folks who grow, raise, and make those goods. Vendors are not permitted to re-sell items.

No, you may not bring any pets to the market. Service animals are, however, allowed.

We love dogs, we truly do! But, due to PA Department of Agriculture regulations, no pets are permitted at the market.  If you do bring a pet, please keep them outside of tents and away from all food.

Most vendors will provide shopping bags with the purchase of goods, however, we strongly encourage all shoppers to BYOBags! It cuts down on disposables and saves on costs for our small businesses.
