If you're looking for a farmers market with a variety of offerings, this is the place. You'll find…read moreeverything from fresh produce and cooked food to oils, seasonings, prepared foods, coffee, fresh juice, and so much more. The market is open on Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. I recommend arriving no later than 9:00 a.m. if you want plenty of time to browse and enjoy everything it has to offer. Many of the vendors offer free samples, giving you the chance to try products before you buy them. If you enjoy visiting farmers markets, this is one you definitely don't want to miss. Another feature that some shoppers will appreciate is the no pets policy. While many people love bringing their pets along, not having them in the market makes it easier to browse the vendors, navigate the crowds, and enjoy the overall shopping experience.

I have been to another Fresh Thyme Market and enjoyed the selection of products and the customer service at that location. This particular Fresh Thyme Market location was wonderful because it was larger and had a much better selection of products. The staff were wonderful and very helpful when I asked for assistance on a product. The prices were very reasonable and fit within my budget. I love the fresh natural products at Fresh Thyme Market and they are perfect for my dietary needs. Fresh Thyme Market is the best and will continue to shop here for a long period of time.

On the other hand, I very much appreciate the addition of Limelight Coffee serving up Cold Brew and ADH Teas offering locally blended teas. I can't get enough of their Spanish Lemon iced tea. Along with these two beverages you can always find me munching on a bag of D&S Kettle Corn. All of their popping corn is Indiana grown and they use Indiana maple syrup on their maple corn offering but I highly recommend the sweet & salty. Not a huge fan of kettle corn? They are happy to pop up a batch of plain for you as well. This year is a growing year for the market. It will take some time to get used to the new location & new name but with the addition of more produce vendors and readily available food options this market (fingers crossed) will get its groove back.

There's something for everyone at the market, I do wish they had another coffee vendor come through because the line at Hubbard and Cravens was long! BRFM is the place to go for sure!

I like going to Farm Markets this time of year because Indiana's produce is in season and I can…read moreshop local. The Broad Ripple Farmers Market is quite an operation. We arrived ten minutes before opening to find a line of about 200 people waiting to enter. These people are serious shoppers that come equipped with carts, wagons and armfuls of bags. Seventy or so vendors are organized by produce, crafts, baked goods and prepared foods. Long lines of shoppers form quickly outside popular produce vendors, making it difficult to shop. The regulars know exactly where they want to go. If you see something you want, you need to buy it quickly or it's gone. The produce was locally grown and beautiful in most booths. Prices were high, in general, but shoppers were not deterred. I picked up some beautiful and reasonably priced eggplant. But I draw the line at $6 pints of cherry tomatoes. Several vendors were selling fresh baked goods. Bakeries from around central Indiana were present. I saw breads, muffins, cookies and more. I was intrigued by sourdough bread and bought a loaf. Music plays at a central location. Tables and chairs fill up quickly with coffee drinkers and people sampling the various food selections. We had trouble finding a seat to eat my breakfast pizza. People had dogs on leashes, lots of dogs. Personally, I prefer not to have dogs at the markets because they stick their noses in the food. Don't get me wrong, I'm a dog lover, but I leave mine at home. Parking fills quickly and we found backing out of our space to exit a challenge as cars kept coming. Some people park over in the mall parking and walk, which might be easier. I did not see rest rooms or other amenities. I think it's probably easier to shop after you have been a few times to the market and know exactly what you want. Bring a hand cart.

I anticipated being the only person walking around the market while all the vendors stared at me, but no. Lots of shoppers, lots of produce and bread and tea and honey and sweets and meats and goods, and lots of samples. What I love about farmers markets in general (and this one specifically) is that each person selling their goods is super excited to tell you all about them, how they made them or grew them, what to eat them with or how to use them. On this visit, I bought some tea from the Tarkington Tea booth, a boule of French bread from The Bearded Baker, honey sticks from Dragonwood Honey & Maple and a dried cow hoof for my doggie from Becker Farms. I was eyeing the pea shoots at another stall, but I'll have to come back and buy those another time -- the guy was busy and had a line of customers. This indoor farmers market is located at Roy G. Holland Park, in the community center just off the parking lot. It's nice and warm inside, so don't let the cold temps of winter deter you from visiting the farmers market!

This is a nice winter option for fresh produce.

Everyone is friendly and helpful, most take credit cards, some with limits but because they are small businesses I try to use cash. They moved from the big baseball park to a smaller, slightly harder to find park in a neighborhood. The parking lot isn't as big but the building seems about the same. Because it's inside you don't get any issues with weather but because it's inside you also get a concentration of voices and smells that have nowhere to go. It can get a little loud inside. There isn't a hot breakfast option so don't plan on eating here like you can during the summer. If you're looking for fresh delicious produce this is a good market, if you also go to the summer one for entertainment, this is not the same as that market.

My daughter is 19 months…read moreold so, we decided to take our first girl's trip here for a weekend in Carmel to coincide with the 5k hosted at this market. It does feel authentic - but it's cramped into this small, adorable city center area which is super cute. Problem, it's a small, cramped space and was difficult to even walk down the rows (like, so cramped you were just stopped elbow to elbow pushing against people not moving) and with my daughter's stroller it was a nightmare. The lines for food were at least 50 people deep for every single vendor so, if you wanted to sample multiple things you'd be waiting hours... They did have authentic German souvenirs and the boot mugs are adorable! Lots of cute places for photo ops. There were some issues - the penny press didn't work and took my $.51 and gave me a mangled, flat penny. I had dollars and pennies but no quarters and literally no one vendor or place here had change. I feel you should not have a penny press without offering people change... it should be located in one of the customer help/service tents. The 5k was fun and well-done - small group of around 2500 runners and starts and ends at the market. It was nice bc I got to see the spaces and walk around and take some pictures without the crowds. If we ever come back, it'll be much earlier in the season and during a week day to avoid the insane crowds we had on the last Saturday before Christmas. I think the 5k should be earlier in the season so it'll be warmer and less crowded.

The mulled wine, spiked ciders and other interesting hot beverages will keep you warm while you peruse the various vendors seasonal offerings. Every year they have a different Christkindlmarkt mug with the year and new theme to collect. This year we were delighted to experience a glassblowing event. Artists visit from Germany had a demo making glass ornaments and it was fun to watch and nice to be warm and indoors for a bit. Purchased a gorgeous glass hummingbird ornament as a gift for my mom. I love standing by the fire near giant lit up windmill eating the boiled potatoes topped with raclette cheese, bacon and onions. Something we look forward to every year. They added shuttle this year and there is also free parking in a couple lots nearby if you're lucky enough to snag a spot or get there early enough. Arrive early if you can! Bundle up and do a little Christmas shopping and even ice skating if you're up for it. There are tons of unique gifts and food and drinks to try. Enjoy!

Sample flavors included cantaloupe, beet, broccoli. They were mostly sold out by the time I explored their booth. I was very impressed with the filet mignon sample. Sorry but I do not remember the catering/vendor name right beside Sincerely Soup, which I like their vegetable beef soup sample more than the cauliflower cream soup sample and definitely more than the cream of peanut butter soup with white rice sample. A couple of turkey vendors peaked my interest. Dolce Vita was already shut down, but I think I would like to someday try a few of their crepes. They are operating through March 22, 2025 for this winter season. I am glad I visited.

The market is slower paced and easier to maneuver than some of the bigger markets. Prices are reasonable. Lines of patient shoppers form at the popular vendors.

A live folk band was playing during our visit. Covered seating is available to sit and enjoy the morning. Even a dog water bowl is out. Carts are available to help you carry your haul to the car. They've thought of everything to make the visit enjoyable. The market is held in a church parking lot. Parking is easy in and out with traffic moving in one direction. Accessible spaces were available. This is a great little market to support local producers.
