It’s official, the Broad Ripple Farmers Market has a new home! The new location is 6179 Rural Street (the parking lot east of Rural across from Glendale Town Center). Thanks to the generosity of Kite Realty, the BRVA was able to secure an on-time opening of the BRFM on May 2, 2020 for the summer season.
For over a decade, the BRFM has operated out of the parking lot behind the now-closed Broad Ripple High School. On April 17, IPS decided to discontinue this facility rental temporarily due to COVID restrictions. Since then the Broad Ripple Village Association has partnered with Kite Realty to secure a secondary location. There is a chance we will move back to our usual location at BRHS, so stay tuned as everything evolves.
Many significant operational modifications have been made to comply with COVID guidelines. The safety of our customers, vendors and volunteers will continue to be the top priority. We are grateful for the efforts of BRFM Market Master Barbara Wilder and her committee in ensuring that the BRVA can still provide this essential service to our community. See the details and stay updated on changes here.
The Broad Ripple Farmers Market is important to our community for myriad reasons. BRFM vendors provides fresh, healthy, local food to thousands of families, including those who are economically challenged and using programs like SNAP. Additionally, dozens of growers and food vendors across the state depend on BRFM sales as their primary income, making our market economically vital.
