Produce This Week
All produce available at the Brownsburg Farmers Market presented by IU Health West Hospital is produced by local farmers within 30 miles of the market.
We do not allow reselling of wholesale produce at our market, which is why you will only see what is local and seasonal in our area. Some of our farmers utilize hothouses or hoop houses to extend their growing season and harvest earlier produce.
Produce you will see Thursday includes: lettuce, salad m
ix, radish, spinach, turnips, beets, swiss chard, tomatoes, zucchini, broccoli and green onions.
We have a total of 11 produce vendors this season, five of which will be at the first market. As the crops come in, you will see the remaining farmers joining the market in the upcoming weeks.
Meet the Vendors: Shannon Family Farms
Shannon Family Farms was started in 2004 by Jonathan & Kelly Shannon with a
farmhouse, nine acres, and a small herd of Boer Goats.
As time went on, it became evident that small scale, niche market, livestock production would be the focus for Shannon Family Farms. Beef cattle, swine, meat and layer chickens, and meat goats were chosen as the main livestock species to graze our pastures.
Their meat and eggs price sheets are included for the market on their Facebook page. Highlighted items are available each week and the other items can be ordered ahead of time and brought to the market special order, if placed by 4 p.m. on Wednesday. They have a variety of pork, beef and poultry products available for purchase.
Kiwanis Strawberry Shortcake Sale
The opening market on June 7 will feature a strawberry shortcake sale hosted by the Brownsburg Kiwanis Club, benefiting local youth programs. The cost is $6 per serving, cash only.
