About Our Market

The Zionsville Farmers' Market was started in 1997 by volunteers who saw an opportunity to bring fresh, local produce to the Zionsville community. Since then, it has grown into a staple of Zionsville summers, providing those who visit with produce, baked goods, and freshly prepared food by our fantastic vendors. We pride ourselves on a diverse group of vendors and goods that bring people from near and far to the heart of Zionsville, located right on our historic main street.

We are more than just a place to pick up groceries – we are a community gathering spot where people can come together, share stories, and enjoy local music while shopping for fresh and healthy food!

Over 25 Years in the Zionsville Community

The Zionsville Farmers' Market celebrated it's 25th anniversary in 2022! To mark the occasion, we produced a video to capture the history and community impact our market has had. We interviewed Barbra Munson, the founder of our market, along with vendors, board members, and community members. This video was made possible by our board member Kathy Brown, a grant from the Town of Zionsville, and Collin Stroup of Stroup Media who filmed and edited the video.

Board Member

Danielle Tucker has been a board member since late 2019. She has lived in Zionsville since 2009 and has been an avid market-goer since that time. She loves that she can walk to the market to load her reusable bags with local, fresh produce while also getting the chance to indulge in a fun treat from one of the prepared food vendors. Volunteering with the market allows her to support the community, meet new people, and catch up with neighbors. When not at the market, Danielle mostly spends her time working and driving her kids to and from their activities.

Patti Hammerle

Treasurer

Born and raised in New York, Patti came to Indiana to attend IU and never left. She raised her boys in Brownsburg where she was a library board member for over 10 years, including being the president and treasurer. She moved to the Village as an empty nester with her husband John and 2 dogs in 2022 and it has been everything she had hoped it would be. She spent the first summer in Zionsville attending the market every week and volunteering once a month. When the treasurer position on the board opened up it seemed a perfect fit with her finance background to support an organization that she finds so special. She says she never shops in the grocery store produce section during market season and encourages everyone to come out and enjoy what the market has to offer.
