Week 20: The last Statehouse Market of 2018!

posted by SPD Communications on October 2, 2018 SHM Week 20

All good things must eventually come to an end and the Statehouse Market is no different.

For the last 20 weeks, we’ve been privileged to bring some of the Hoosier State’s finest farmers, artisans and food truck entrepreneurs to Robert D. Orr Plaza each Thursday for a fun time in the sun. And sometimes rain.

We hope you’ve enjoyed the 2018 season as much as we have and we look forward to meeting you for lunch this Thursday!

Saying goodbye is no picnic, but hold back those tears! The market will return in 2019 with amazing street food from an awesome assortment of food trucks, the finest produce in The Hoosier State, and carefully crafted goods that belong on every shelf.

Just thinking about it has us wishing it was already next summer! Until then, stop by Robert D. Orr Plaza between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. this Thursday, Oct. 4, for the 2018 Statehouse Market curtain call.

We can’t wait to see you there!

Statehouse Market Week 16: The post-Labor Day homestretch begins!

posted by SPD Communications on August 31, 2018 Statehouse Market Week 16

Labor Day weekend is traditionally seen as the unofficial end of summer.

Gone are the barbecues and pool parties, and in their place Hoosiers ready for sweatshirt weather, football and pumpkin spice-flavored everything.

Well, according to our calendars, there are five — count ’em — FIVE Statehouse Markets remaining in 2018. And since the farmer’s market on Robert D. Orr Plaza is pretty much synonymous with the warm rays of summer in Indy, we think there’s still plenty of fun in the sun left this year.

We’re so confident, in fact, that we might even (gasp!) wear white clothing after Labor Day!

Yes, it’s a potential fashion faux pas, but that’s just how daring we can be — at least when it comes to choosing pants in September.

And why not?

After all, that’s the sort of trend-bucking, devil-may-care Hoosier spirit you’ll see each Thursday at the market as some of the area’s top farmers, artisans, entrepreneurs and mobile restaurant maestros gather for an event the smells of which alone simply scream “summer.”

So keep the shades handy and the warm weather wardrobe at the ready. Summer’s far from over, and we hope you’ll enjoy these last few Market Days with us – rain or shine, summer weather or fall-like chilly temperatures.

As always, we’ll meet you for lunch on the plaza between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

We’ll see you Thursday! Until then, keep looking on the sunny side of life and check out the Sept. 6 lineup below.

Lucky Market #13!

posted by SPD Communications on August 13, 2018 Statehouse Market Week 13

Many people believe the number 13 is one that is especially unlucky.

We, on the other hand, are not at all superstitious; as a matter of fact, we tend to think that good fortune and the Statehouse Market go hand-in-hand.

How else can you describe the circumstances that brought some of the Hoosier State’s freshest produce together with (deep breath) homemade granola and baked goods, quality dairy products, carefully crafted cold brew coffee, gold standard popcorn, top-of-the-line gluten free snacks, fresh-from-the-hive honey (and tons of products made from it) vegan nachos with all the best toppings, crab cakes and elk burgers (from the same truck!), baked-to-perfection brick oven pizza, donuts to die for, mouthwatering barbecued everything, grilled chicken quesadillas and real fruit smoothies (again, from the same truck!), arepa and other amazing sandwiches and meals straight from Venezuela, home-style Chinese food, pretzel sandwiches with delightful “twists,” a couple dozen flavors of healthy frozen pops, and burgers, fish, fries and more that will take you back to the days of drive-ins and sock hops?

Phew!

That sounds like some (extremely tasty) serendipitous happenstance to us!

And when you stop to think about it, visitors to Robert D. Orr Plaza each Thursday truly are lucky as they’ll have the opportunity to try out an enormously varied selection of food and artisan goods like these — and many others — each and every week throughout the summer.

Come out between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 16 for a look at Week 13’s best eats and treats. Check out the list below for details on this week’s vendors and food trucks.

With a baker’s dozen markets “in the books” in 2018, we can’t wait to see what the future holds for this season.

We’re crossing our fingers and hoping you’ll join us each Thursday through Oct. 4.

posted by SPD Communications on July 30, 2018 Market Blog Week 11

Summer is going by quickly (a bit too quickly by our estimation), but there are still plenty of great market days ahead.

Market rolls on to Week 5!

posted by SPD Communications on June 18, 2018 Statehouse Market - Week 5

As the process of repairing the water damage in IGC-N continues, the Statehouse Market will go on as scheduled this Thursday, June 21.

As was the case in Week 4, some food trucks/trailers will be located in the daycare drop-off. There’s bound to be plenty of great lunch options there.  The rest of the food trucks and our produce and specialty vendors will set-up on Robert D. Orr Plaza as usual. Coffee, popcorn, baked goods, dairy products, fresh produce, flowers, pizza and sandwiches make up a small sample of the items up for sale at the Statehouse Market each week.

Meanwhile, the restorative equipment is expected to remain on the plaza throughout the month of June, meaning that the locations of some popular vendors has temporarily changed, and your favorite food truck may be parked in the adjacent lot.

Please check out the daycare lot if you don’t see your preferred food truck parked on Robert D. Orr Plaza.

Trust us, the assortment of homegrown Hoosier produce, deliciously indulgent street food (with plenty of health-minded options), and myriad other items for sale are more than worth any extra walking — rain or shine.

After all, that’s just another way to get your steps in on the way to “producing a healthier you.”

Check out this week’s lineup below and meet us outside from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. We hope to see you there!

What are you eating from the market this week?

posted by SPD Communications on June 22, 2016 Fresh Local Produce

Week five of the market is upon us. Join the vendors and food trucks listed below Thursday at the Statehouse Market. The market is open from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the temporary location in front of the Indiana State Museum.

Here are three things to look for this week:

  1. Don’t know what to eat? It’s always a hard decision. This week, I’d try the Turkey, Bacon, Pesto with Muenster Grilled Cheese or Wasabi-Infused Pretzel Bites from Der Pretzel Wagen. If that’s not your style, Nacho Mama’s features her Vegan Rice Bowl for only $6.
  2. What’s in season? Biltz Greenhouses brought fresh blueberries and the first peaches of the season last week. Expect more this week. Biltz sets up over on the Cultural Trail side.  Check out Wilson Farm too! I really like when our farmers share what they’re bringing so that I can share with you. Here’s what Dave Wilson texted me that he’ll have Thursday: tomatoes, potatoes, sugar peas, cabbage, candy onions, red beets, pickler cucumbers, cherries, garlic, free range eggs and rabbit.
  3. Two food trucks make their first appearance this season tomorrow. Da Blue Lagoon returns with it’s take on Jamaican and Caribbean cuisine. Also Karma Kitchen, a comfort food specialist from Anderson, makes their first trip.
