“I am very excited to see our line-up of vendors during our summertime Farmer’s Markets. Some of Indiana’s brightest and finest local vendors will be showcased Tuesdays at Eskenazi Health,” said Jeff Noyed, lifestyle health and wellness manager with Eskenazi Health. “Our unique Commonground is a welcoming outdoor venue where everyone may stop by to enjoy great food and fellowship in a fantastic atmosphere. All of us are looking forward to supporting local Hoosiers in our first Farmer’s Market of the season on May 16.”
Items sold at the Eskenazi Health Farmers’ Market are grown or made within 150 miles of the Eskenazi Health downtown campus and within the state of Indiana. This is an intentional initiative to help support the local economy.
Along with the vendors, the Marianne Tobias Music Program at Eskenazi Health will showcase live concert music featuring local artists for the community to enjoy periodically throughout the summer.
