Discovering Fishers

For $2 each way, the new IndyGo Commuter Express service runs from Fishers to six downtown stops in a loop. Parking is in the Eastern Star Church lot at 106th and Lantern Road. Buses leave every 15-30 minutes in peak periods. See the website for more details.

Household toxic waste can be disposed of properly here. The center also offers recycling containers for glass, plastic, metal, cardboard, and grass clippings. Mulch is also free for the taking here.

Grill and smoker rentals for cooking up all of your local grass-fed, free-range, antibiotic free beef and pork.  Also offering volume orders of beef, pork, chicken, and venison processing.

In addition to great fall seasonal activities like apple and pumpkin picking, hay rides, a corn maze, and cider-cooked bratwursts, Tuttle Orchards also has a farm market store open year round with all kinds of goodies. This is a great way to spend a beautiful fall day!

Take a relaxing trip down the White River. Canoe rentals close to home!

Another fun place to take little ones!

See trains and relive your dream to be a railroad engineer!

Traders Point is a family owned dairy offering delicious organic milk, cheese, and yogurt made from a 100% grass-fed herd. From their website, their mission is to:

• Farm in harmony with the land and the animals. 
• Produce the most nutritious and healthful products possible. 
• Encourage education of farming and nutrition. 
• Promote a community of local food and sustainable farming, reconnecting farmers & consumers. 

We have not visited this market ourselves, but we have included it as another location where local produce is offered.

In its fourth year, this farmers’ market is on the way home for many Fishers residents who work in Indianapolis, making it a convenient stop. Since it’s held on Thursday afternoons, it’s possible to visit more vendors that overlap with most other area Saturday morning markets. Watermelons and heirloom tomatoes are the embodiment of summer.
