Me to myself when decorating with no true plan: “I’m sure this will look pretty!”

Turns out, it’s lookin’ like it belongs in a baroque style cathedral 🕊️

🌴 Samoa (caramel deLite) is returning to market this weekend and for weekday pickup starting Wednesday. (Don’t worry-it’ll be a triple batch, so I shouldn’t sell out before 10am.)

Note: the one pictured is a 6” cake and is available for order with 3 days prep time.

We’d love your input!

📢 Special Market Committee Meeting – Community Input Welcome

The Hammond Farmers & Artisans Market Committee will hold a special meeting on Wednesday, July 15, at 5:00 PM in the Hammond City Council Chambers (310 E. Charles St.) to discuss the future location of the market.

Following the recent installation of the bollards near the Downtown Development District office, the committee is exploring whether the market should remain at the Downtown Pavilion or potentially relocate back to Railroad Park and NW Railroad Avenue.

No decision has been made. This meeting is an opportunity to review information, discuss the options, and hear input from vendors, customers, and community members before any decisions are considered.

The meeting is open to the public, and anyone interested is welcome to attend.

We value your feedback and hope you'll join us as we continue working to make the Hammond Farmers & Artisans Market the best it can be for our vendors, customers, and community.

A really late post for me, but I wanted to shout the biggest of thank you’s to everyone who visited us last Saturday for the July 4th market! We went straight into celebrating our nation’s birthday at PARD, to adventuring locally and out of town, and are finally starting to settle down into the week. Rest will come later maybe?

Stay tuned for what’s planned this week:
🛒Market at Cain’s Family Market on 7/9
🥒Hammond Farmers Market 7/11
🎂 Speciality flavors available for home pickup

Yes!! We ARE open tomorrow for July 4th! 🇺🇸
I also heard we’ll have a 🚒 visiting, live music from Cate St. Collective 🎶 , a Gnome on the Roam scavenger hunt, and coloring fun for the kiddos! ❤️ 🤍💙

Come see us from 8-12 in downtown Hammond for the Hammond Farmers & Artisans Market.

I was so shocked when someone called me “The Cookie Lady” at market last weekend! (I’m so used to “Cheesecake Lady.”)

To many, cookies are their reason for coming and I’ve been told these cookies “alter your brain chemistry” because they’re SO good!

Come try it this weekend or order a half/full dozen for this week! (Stuffed or unstuffed)

Black Forest Cherry Chip is restocked at Pull Clip Cafe!

Before it was “just” Cherry Chip cheesecake, but I made the executive decision (love that 😆) to sandwich it between two decadent slices of rich chocolate cake and amaretto-infused cherry filling then cover it with delicious vanilla buttercream.

Available for home pickup also. Order here: www.melscheesecakes.com
