Four market Thursdays left: View Sept. 18 vendors

Fall officially arrives next Tuesday, so that means the market is winding down for the 2014 season. We’ve got some great food truck lineups over the final four weeks and our produce vendors are introducing some fall produce like pumpkins, squash, apples and mums.

This week the market vendors again park on Robert Orr Plaza Drive only.

When: September 18, 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Where: Robert Orr Plaza, Indianapolis

What: Produce Vendors and Food Trucks

Three picks of the week

Our honey vendor, Wildflower Ridge Honey, is only here only two more weeks this season. It’s not too early to buy honey or homemade soaps for Holiday gifts. Pattie Barrickman, who owns Wildflower Ridge with her husband Dave, says, “Both will keep. Stock up now!”

If the weather feels chilly, then try some chili. This week Caveman Truck is featuring their Barnyard Chili made with 100 percent grass-fed beef, Smoking Goose bacon and pasture raised chicken with organic tomatoes and organic sweet potato.

If you haven’t tried something from Taste of the Caribbean yet, you’re missing out. Our pick this week is the Jerk Chicken Nachos. Try it with all of the toppings including corn, black beans and avocados. Nachos not your thing? Try the jerk chicken as a salad, flatbread, wrap or a platter.

More picks: Pumpkins arrived last week. Van Antwerp Farm Market has small, medium and large pumpkins (including pink pumpkins) and Biltz Greenhouses also has pumpkins. Mums are available again from both Posey & Pumpkins and Flat Rock Farms.
