Fresh peaches, sweet corn available July 9 market

Last week at the market we saw our first sweet corn of the season at Biltz Greenhouses’ stand. This week two more vendors say they’re bringing sweet corn too (VanAntwerp’s Farm Market and Wilson Farm). VanAntwerp’s also says they have some cantaloupe ready, along with eggplant and ground cherries. What are ground cherries? They’re a small orange fruit covered in papery husk, and similar in size and shape to a cherry tomato. The flavor is a pleasant, unique tomato/pineapple like blend.

This week a few food trucks come back to the market for the first time this season, including Chef Dan’s Southern Comfort which recently opened their restaurant at 5539 E. Washington Street in historic Irvington. Now they’re settled in and back on the food truck too!

Also, we’ve never had a battle of the chicken salads, but The Twisted Sicilian and Caveman Truck are both featuring their take on the lunch staple. Take your pick between the Sicilian Chicken Salad from Twisted Sicilian or Caveman’s Chicken Salad Lettuce Cups.

Want to find out how to pick a fresh peach? Registered dietitian Jenna McClean and farmer Ernie Biltz explain in our latest market video.

Statehouse Market returns in new location on May 28

The State Personnel Department is happy to announce the Opening Day of the 2015 Statehouse Market as Thursday, May 28. Local farmers and produce vendors join some of Indy’s top food trucks as we start the fourth season of the market. The market spans 19 weeks this season from May 28 until October 1.

We’re two days away from Opening Day of the Statehouse Market. Listed below are the vendors you can expect to see week one.

This season our location is slightly changed as we’re no longer between the North and South buildings on Robert Orr Plaza. The food trucks and a few produce vendors are lining up on both sides of the south section of Senate Avenue, which is closed on market Thursdays. The majority of our produce vendors are setting up along the Washington Street sidewalk near the south lawn of the Statehouse. So if you’re still following, the market forms an “L” shape around the Statehouse’s south lawn.

Through traffic remains open on Robert Orr Plaza during the market but all cars must go north to Ohio Street. Next week we’ll have some more information about what some of the vendors are bringing Opening Day.
