Shop local products at the Indiana Grown Marketplace during the Indiana State Fair

"Getting a taste of Indiana has never been easier," said Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, Indiana's Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. "If you are looking for quality products created by people who care about their craft, look no further than the Indiana Grown Marketplace."

Shoppers will be immersed in a storefront solely featuring products grown, processed, packaged or produced in Indiana with product samples available to taste each Friday, Saturday and Sunday starting at 11 a.m.

"The state fair always brings the best Hoosiers have to the table; the same can be said for the Indiana Grown Marketplace given that all products were cultivated with Hoosier care," said Don Lamb, director of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture. "I hope you join us at the Indiana Grown Marketplace to experience the excellence of Indiana Grown producers for yourself."

Shoppers will find a variety of products like sauces, cookies, fudge, teas and popcorn. Also available are body care items like handcrafted soap, natural bath bombs, laundry detergents, lotions and more.

The Indiana State Fair runs from Friday, Aug. 2 through Sunday, Aug. 18 (closed Mondays). The Mercantile building, formerly known as the Agriculture/Horticulture building, is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The Mercantile is located to the right of the Midway on the west side of the fairgrounds.
