Goshen Farmers Market

Goshen Farmers Market pairs a year-round indoor setup with a mission centered on locally grown and crafted products and education around agricultural, environmental, economic, and community sustainability. The market operates from the historic Mill Race Center at 212 W. Washington St., close to downtown Goshen and off the Mill Race Trail by Interra Credit Union. That combination gives this market a distinct shape: an indoor home base with a stated sustainability focus, plus regular Saturday shopping year-round and a Tuesday season that runs May through October.

Why it matters locally

The Community Sustainability Project runs Goshen Farmers Market as one of its projects, and that organizer is an Indiana 501(c)(3). The market’s mission is to create a viable market for locally grown and crafted products while promoting and educating about agricultural, environmental, economic, and community sustainability.

That local role also shows up in how the market connects food access and community programs. The market accepts SNAP and uses tokens for eligible food items, and shoppers can use an EBT card there. The broader project work linked with the market includes Fresh Food Therapy, a ProduceRX program with Maple City Health Care Clinic.

What you'll find there

Produce and flowers form a strong core here, with baked goods, cheese, prepared foods, and handmade work filling out the market’s indoor mix.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the clearest policy detail to factor into your plans. The market is inside the historic Mill Race Center at 212 W. Washington St., close to downtown Goshen and off the Mill Race Trail by Interra Credit Union. On Tuesdays and Saturdays, the front desk is the place to stop if you plan to use SNAP benefits. Restrooms are not available, so this is a stop better planned as a focused shopping trip rather than a long linger.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP is accepted at Goshen Farmers Market, and the market uses tokens for eligible food items. Shoppers can use an EBT card there, with transactions handled at the front desk on Tuesdays and Saturdays. That setup matters if you want to combine farm produce and other eligible groceries in one trip.
