Ahh the smell of fresh flowers, burgers cooking on the grill, and variety of baked goods can only mean one thing… the farmers market is back! So what is all the hype about? Let’s find out!
First things first, when is it and where?
During the summer from May 3 through July 26, the Purdue Market is open on Thursdays from 11am-2pm. From August 2 to October 5, the market extends its hours on Thursday to 11am-3pm. The market can be found on Memorial Mall, perfect location for you to stop by between classes. Miss the Purdue Market? Don’t worry! The Lafayette Market is located downtown on 5th Street between Main and Columbia. This market is open from May 5 through October on Saturdays from 8am-12:30pm.
What do they have?
I should start by saying what don’t they have?? From baked goods and cookies to pasta and breadsticks, the market has a treat for when you need something sweet, or a meal when you miss lunch.
