Shopping at a farmers market like Matthys Farm Market is a different experience from buying groceries at a chain store. Vendors at Matthys Farm Market are not middlemen — they are the farmers, bakers, cheesemakers, and food artisans who produced what they are selling. That directness creates a quality and freshness that supply-chain grocery products rarely match.

The seasonal nature of a farmers market is one of its most distinctive features. Matthys Farm Market carries what South Bend-area farms are currently harvesting, which means the selection is always an honest reflection of what is growing well in the region right now. Early-season markets tend to be heavy on greens and transplants; midsummer is the peak of variety; fall transitions to roots, alliums, winter squash, and preserves. Regular shoppers come to understand this rhythm and plan their cooking around it.

Every vendor at Matthys Farm Market is there because they chose to sell directly to consumers — which generally means they take more pride in what they bring to market. Asking questions about how something was grown, what is coming next week, or how to cook something unfamiliar is not just welcomed at most farmers markets; it is part of the culture.

Every purchase at Matthys Farm Market supports a local grower or food maker and keeps money circulating within the South Bend regional economy.
