Northern Indiana Farmers

On a family vacation in Indiana we went to the Michigan City Farmer's Market (open Saturdays) and to the nearby Sevick Gardens & Farm Market store, which is open during the week. I remember going to Indiana for apples (John Hancock Fruit Farm in La Porte) when I was growing up, but it seemed like Indiana had less farming and more suburbs in recent years.

On this trip, though, we had bison burgers from Broken Wagon Bison, fresh peaches and blueberries and onions, from Sevick Gardens, and I got beautiful pumpkin-clover honey to bring home.

It's exciting to see the resurgence in local food and no-spray farming happening everywhere. The pastries at the Farmer's Market were awesome, too.
