It's Friday! Congrats! You made it through another work week. How about celebrating your leisurely Saturday by hitting up the last Indy Winter Farmers' Market of the season. Yes, the winter is behind us now, and summer is close ahead. This is the last time to have all of these wonderful vendors together until next Winter market season. Get here early to get the best pick of the ultra fresh, just cut spinach and mixed greens; starter plants for your garden, like tomato, cucumber, and various herbs; and assorted flowers for your window boxes.
Pick up other necessities like fresh farm eggs, oven baked breads, cheese, milk, yogurt, honey, maple syrup, and coffee. Bring your cooler to store locally raised meats: pork, beef, and chicken.
There are also fine inedible items offered at the market: handmade soaps, exquisitely crafted cutting boards, wheel-thrown pottery, and an array of lavender products that would make great Mother's Day gifts. Hint hint.
Come hungry! While you are browsing the market, munch on a just-off-the-griddle breakfast sandwich from Skillington Farms, a hand-rolled and steamed tamale (above) from Feast Catering, a flaky spinach pastry from Lena's Mediterranean Kitchen, and a chocolate croissant from Rene's Bakery. Sip on hot Harvest Cafe Coffee or a nutrient packed juice from Natural Born Juicers. 
The Indy Winter Farmers Market is open for the last time this Saturday from 9:00am-12:30pm at 901 N East Street. (Until next winter at least.) Check them out at http://indywinterfarmersmarket.org/.
