Springtime at The Farm!
Ahh... Warmer temperatures, birdsongs, bits o' green appearing in the pastures, and exciting events are buzzing in The Loft to welcome Spring!
There's so much to see, taste, and experience on the Farm! When you come visit Traders Point Farm and Creamery in the Spring, you have the opportunity to visit the newborn calves, watch the cows being milked, eat in The Loft, or treat yourself to a delicious milkshake, parfait, or float at The Dairy Bar.
It's the time of year to enjoy the beauty of the Earth as it awakens. Come enjoy one of Indiana's hidden treasures!
Have a group of 5 or more people who are interested in visiting the Farm? Schedule a private tour, and come learn how TPC creates award-winning products, pasture to table. Call or email Amy at 317-733-1700 or tours@tpforganics.com to set up a time to visit.
Organic Chicken Dinner Night in The Loft!
We still have a few spots available for our Chicken Dinner this Friday from 6-9pm! This 3-course, delicious dinner begins with a chicory salad with roasted shallot vinaigrette. The main course is lemon-fennel crusted, cast-iron skillet chicken, served with cranberry bourbon glazed sweet potatoes and sauteed haricot vert (delicious thin green beans) and pecans. The vegetarian option is pasta primavera with organic spaghetti noodles dressed in a creamy vegetable sauce.
The dinner is finished off with a sensational waffle bowl sundae. These house made waffle bowls are filled with TPC Banana and Caramel ice cream, topped with cardamon sauce!
