Albert Rene Trevino (1965-2025)
A long-time vendor at the BRFM, Albert Trevino, has passed away. Albert (Rene’s Bakery) was with the Market from the early days right up until Covid; and we all looked forward to seeing his smiling face and eating his delicious pastries each week. A celebration of Albert’s life will be held on June 1 from 3-6:30 at the Indy Art Center.

WHAT’S COOKING: Strawberry Lemon Trifle
There’s nothing as beautiful and show-stopping, IMO, as a trifle. The view through a straight-sided glass bowl to the lovely layers of fresh fruit, spongy cake, and creamy pudding is the stuff of dreams. And they’re surprisingly easy to make and endlessly versatile.
Get recipe.
