Thumbs up: Green spots on horizon
A bounty of farmers' markets across the city and state offer Hoosiers an opportunity to step up and appreciate what heat-stressed farmers are able of coaxing from their land and livestock. Among the newest spots for fresh food in Indy is the Crooked Creek Farmers Market, held from 11:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Sundays at 7003B Michigan Rd. This particular market receives bonus points because it represents an ongoing effort by the nonprofit Crooked Creek Community Development Corp. to enliven the concrete jungle along the Michigan Road corridor. People on food assistance can use their benefit cards at the market, which also accepts credit cards. The Food Coalition of Central Indiana website hosts an interactive map listing nearly two dozen farmers' markets and other places to buy locally-produced food and to help supply the state's rain-starved farmers a nice stream of cold, hard cash to help make ends meet during this brutal summer.
