Five places to find ‘fresh and local’ in Westfield
Home gardening and farm markets continue to grow in popularity and offer urban consumers a more authentic connection to the environment. One of the benefits of living at The Flats at Spring Mill Station apartments in Westfield is your proximity to an array of sources for fresh, local foods this spring. (Spoiler: one of them is your own apartment!)
The Westfield Farmer’s Market
The Westfield Farmer’s Market is open from June through September to fulfill all your needs for seasonal produce, fresh-baked bread, farm-fresh eggs, salsa, pickles, honey, and more. Find it every Thursday on Mill Street from 5 to 8 p.m.
Fresh Thyme
Fresh Thyme Market is just a 10-minute drive from the Flats at Spring Mill Station and sources locally whenever possible. They have a wide selection of fresh-squeezed juices, fresh florals and herbs, and fresh fruits and vegetables.
Whole Foods
Whole Foods is known for its selection of seasonal, local produce, and it’s less than three miles from the Flats at Spring Mill Station. You also have the option of online ordering for pickup or delivery, and Amazon Prime members enjoy two-hour delivery or free one-hour pickup. (Check with your local store for details!)
Sundown Gardens
It doesn’t get any more fresh and local than your own home garden. For those interested in growing a mini-garden at home, Sundown Gardens in Westfield is a “hidden gem” according to Google user reviews. If you start seeding your fruits and vegetables indoors, they should be ready to move outside to your patio or balcony by the middle of May.
Indoor tower or countertop gardens
You can also take advantage of compact, indoor vegetable gardens which allow you to grow fresh herbs and vegetables indoors all year long. Look for floor towers or countertop models to suit your living arrangement.
You don’t have to live in a sprawling countryside estate to reap the benefits of fresh, local produce or your very own home garden. Your new Westfield, Indiana apartment at the Flats at Spring Mill Station is conveniently located near a variety of sources.
