As a registered farmers market in Gary, Indiana, Market of Life connects the local community with the growers and artisans who supply fresh, seasonal food throughout the market season.
Market of Life is part of a national network of farmers markets that have grown substantially over the past two decades. According to USDA data, the number of registered farmers markets in the United States has expanded significantly, reflecting growing consumer demand for local, transparent food sourcing. Market of Life contributes to that network by giving Gary-area growers and food producers a reliable, recurring venue for direct sales.
For consumers, the practical benefit of shopping at Market of Life is freshness. Produce sold at a farmers market is typically harvested within 24 to 72 hours of sale — far less time than the average transit and distribution time for produce in conventional supply chains. That shorter journey from field to table has real implications for flavor, nutritional density, and shelf life at home. Strawberries bought at Market of Life on a Saturday morning are simply a different product from strawberries that have traveled across the country in a refrigerated truck.
The economic impact of a market like Market of Life is also worth noting. When you spend money at Market of Life, most of that money stays within the Gary area. Small farms and food businesses that sell direct-to-consumer do not depend on wholesale distribution margins, which means a larger percentage of each sale goes back to the producer — and back into the local economy. That is a meaningful difference from shopping at a national chain retailer.

It's fall — here's what to look for at local vendors.
Pears
Pears ripen from the inside out. Buy firm and let ripen at home.
Arrive early for the best selection, bring your own bags, and it's generally fine to ask vendors questions about how something was grown or made — most farmers enjoy talking about their product.
