Indy Winter Farmers Market Vendor: Amelia's


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.

Amelia's, 2nd season at IWFM  

Located at 653 Virginia Ave. in the Fletcher Place/Holy Rosary neighborhood, we are a production bakery that specializes in bread baked on a stone hearth in the European tradition. Our bread is leavened with a sourdough starter, and we allow the dough to ferment at a cool temperature overnight to enhance the flavor. This process takes more time, 18-24 hours from mixing to baking, but we believe it really makes better bread.

Most popular item?
The Focaccia or the City Loaf are probably our best-selling items. We recently started making sourdough scones, which have been very popular.

Why should people shop at the IWFM?
Buying local is much more interesting. Whatever is important to you about the products you purchase, you can find out easily and directly.

What do you buy at the IWFM?
We buy meat, eggs, produce and honey.

Indy Winter Farmers Market Vendor: Dickinson Woodworking

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.

Dickinson Woodworking, 5th season at IWFM  
Located east of Indianapolis in Greenfield, we produce handmade kitchenware from local Indiana hardwoods. Whenever possible, we use wood from our own sawmill, which we use to process storm-damaged and removed residential trees.

Most popular item?
Spoons are always popular. Everyone who cooks needs a spoon, and our customers are always telling us how much they love our spoons for being ergonomic, durable and effective. They don't look too shabby either!

Why should people shop at the IWFM?
The IWFM represents a wonderful array of vendors who you can get to know and be more connected to, and who offer the best-quality products and food. Having a more personal relationship with who you buy from can give you confidence in what you buy and eat.

What do you buy at the IWFM?
My favorites are carrots and apples, and I like to stock up on honey from Wildflower Ridge. The meats I have purchased have been of amazing quality. I was outside grilling a bison steak from Circle L Bison once and a raven came and stole it off the grill! I was upset to lose the steak, but that raven sure had a good meal!

Indy Winter Farmers Market Vendor: Ludwig Farmstead Creamery

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.

Ludwig Farmstead Creamery, 3rd season at IWFM  

We are located about 100 miles northwest from Indianapolis in Fithian, Ill. We produce farmstead cheeses. Most are made with raw milk from our own cows and are traditional European cheese recipes.

Most unique item?
Our Vermilion River Blue cheese (pictured) is a very unique "blue cheese." It's a triple cream cheese with just a hint of "blue" in it. I call it our "Gateway Blue Cheese" because many people who don't like traditional blue cheese enjoy this cheese -- it's very mild and very creamery.

Why should people shop at the IWFM?
It's a great market! The vendors provide products from the area that are of the highest quality, and there is a lot to choose from. There isn't a better place to spend a few hours on a Saturday morning in Indianapolis.

What do you buy at the IWFM? 
I could practically stock my entire pantry and fridge with the available food options at the IWFM. I buy local produce. I'm a fan of Kimchi so, I always stock up on that.  Also, local breads and meats (lamb and bison).
