When I first stumbled upon Market Wagon, I thought it was just another delivery app—but then I realized it’s much more. It’s an online farmers’ market connecting me directly with the hands that grow my food, without middlemen or unnecessary fees. Since their start in 2016 in Indianapolis, they’ve blossomed into a trusted national platform that brings local farms and artisan producers straight to your doorstep.
What Makes Market Wagon Feel Like a True Farmers’ Market Experience
Bringing Local Flavor Home
Market Wagon partners with over 2,500 local farmers and artisans, delivering into more than 45,000 homes across the U.S. It isn’t just about convenience—it’s about supporting the community behind your food.
No Memberships, No Membership Fees—Just Good Food
One thing I love is that you can shop without subscriptions, no booth fees, and no minimum orders. Order what you need, when you need it—whether you’re stocking up for the week or experimenting with something new.
Real Farmers and Artisans, No Middleman
Market Wagon’s magic lies in its logistics setup: local producers drop food at neighborhood hubs, and from there, orders get delivered to your door. It’s hands-on, both literally and figuratively.
How It Actually Works
How You Shop
- Tell Them Where You Are
They ask for your zip code and show you the local vendors delivering in your area—making women feel like they’ve just stepped into a trusted market. - Add What You Love
Browse everything from seasonal veggies and eggs to bread, meat, and small-batch goodies. The best part? You’re shopping directly from local growers and creators.
Delivery That Cares
They batch deliveries, use insulated totes and cold packs, and even rotate packaging with each drop-off—keeping your food safe and reducing waste.
Beyond Your Neighborhood
If something you want isn’t local, they offer a “Beyond Local” collection—unique foods from other regions that you won’t easily find elsewhere.
Why I Keep Choosing Market Wagon
Fresh, Honest Food You Can Trace
Everything I’ve ordered—from produce to artisan cheeses—was fresh, flavorful, and came with a sense of place. No artificial supply chains or faceless packaging—just foods made with care.
Great for Farmers Too
One local baker told me Market Wagon made it easier for her to predict demand. No more bringing 20 loaves to a market and coming home with 13 unsold.
Supporting Local Systems
Shopping this way doesn’t just feed my family—it helps small farms and artisans stay viable. And that’s a ripple effect I love being part of.
Tips for Using Market Wagon to Your Advantage
Signing Up Is Worth It
They often run a signup deal—like half-off your first $40 order—making first-time tries even sweeter.
Look Out for Restocks and New Vendors
Stay plugged in—the best seasonal picks and local artisan goodies appear fast, and they can sell out quickly.
