Please note that the free parking lots will no longer be available. We apologize for any inconvenience and are working with the city and other businesses around the Market in hopes of finding other free options. We appreciate your continued support and patience. Metered parking can be found on Market, Alabama, Delaware, New Jersey, Ohio and Wabash Streets. Also, there is a parking garage on New Jersey and Market, just one block east of the City Market, which will be open on Saturdays and offers one hour of parking for $3.

What do you love most about IWFM? The market has a good vibe--the staff, vendors, customers and space itself all create a welcoming atmosphere.

What is your most popular item? I bring different products each week, so it depends. Some best sellers include Pineapple Vanilla Bean Jam, Winter Pear Preserves, Sweet and Spicy Zucchini Picklers, and Blueberry Moscato Jam.

What is something most people don't know about you? I also work as a librarian. Shhh.

What is your favorite local restaurant? Too many to name! Going out to eat is one thing I splurge on. I'm a big fan of Three Carrots in City Market--everything I've tried is delicious, and they use my jam in their PBJs.

What is your favorite thing to do in Indy in the winter? Get cozy with hot toddies and good company.

IWFM Vendor Profile: Piccoli Dolci

Every week during the Indy Winter Farmers Market season, we'll be profiling one of our local vendors! You can find the full list of IWFM vendors and past profiles here.


Piccoli Dolci, first season at IWFM      

Piccoli Dolci ("Little Sweets") makes authentic Italian cookies and pastries, handcrafted in small batches to create remarkable textures and flavors. Our heirloom recipes are thoughtfully selected to bring you the best of Italian traditions. We are based in Bloomington, Ind.

Most popular item?

First-time customers might want to try our crostata - a shortbread tart filled with either raspberry or apricot preserves. It's a classic Italian tart that is as good with coffee for breakfast as it is for dessert. Our most popular cookies are cantucci (a true almond biscotti) and krumiri (a light shortbread).

Why should people shop at the IWFM?

Farmers market vendors have an incredible passion for what they do. That really shines through when it comes to the quality and taste of their products.

What do you buy at the IWFM?

We love to use locally grown fruits, like apples and pears, in our tarts.
