Lafayette Farmer's Market
When to Visit
About the Market
Background
Operating on Saturdays from May to October, the Lafayette Farmers Market has established itself as a cornerstone of the downtown community, providing a venue for local vendors to sell their goods directly to consumers.
Practices
Vendors are required to produce at least 70% of their offerings themselves, ensuring that the majority of products are locally sourced and directly supporting small businesses. Any secondhand items must be purchased directly from the producer and cannot exceed 30% of sales or volume, maintaining the market's focus on local production.
The Rest
The market operates on 5th Street in downtown Lafayette, Indiana, from 8am to 12:30pm, creating a vibrant community space for residents and visitors alike.
