Tipton County Farmers' Market

The Tipton County Farmers' Market Association has been designated "Market Manager" for the local Farmers' Market.  The Farmers' Market Association is a collaborative effort of the Tipton County Chamber of Commerce, Tipton County Extension Education Center, City of Tipton, Tipton County Board of Commissioners, Tipton County Foundation, and other interested citizens - all with the goal of helping both "start-ups" and already established vendors to increase their visibility and success in getting their product into the hands of consumers.
 
As Market Manager, the Farmers' Market Association will be able to serve as a single access point for both vendors and consumers, provide collaborative marketing for all vendors, apply for and receive grant money to be used in that marketing, register the market with the Women, Infants, and Children program in order to make vendors eligible to receive vouchers, and safeguard the cohesion of message and preservation of the local farmers' market integrity.
 
All interested vendors and/or patrons should contact Jennifer Servies with the Tipton County Chamber of Commerce at 765-675-7533 with questions and to register with the market.

Few hospitals anywhere can match the level of personal attention that Indiana University Health Tipton Hospital provides. That's because we actually take the time to listen to our patients. And when you combine that with outstanding physicians and support personnel and exceptional technology, it's easy to see why we've come to be known as the hospital "where you matter more."
