My favorite thing about our neighborhood is that there are so many amazing places within walking distance. We have a Fresh Market on the corner, four of Indianapolis' best restaurants {Taste and Delicia being my favorites} within a couple of blocks, are less than a 10 minute walk from the bike trail. But one of the most unique neighborhood haunts is 'Locally Grown Gardens,' a farmers market stand in an old gas station. The stand is open year-round and sells fresh local produce, eggs, milk, cheeses, artisanal pantry products, flowers, French dinnerware and table linens, and well as fresh baked pies. Chef Ron ensures the market has a cool, relaxed vibe with reggae music, rustic tables, antique lighting, dozens of sun-bleached cookbooks, and offers a few plates for dinner including an insanely delicious roasted salmon. I love supporting local farmers and businesses, and Locally Grown Gardens ensures I can do both at the same time!
