In January local poet, Rachel Andrews - Poetry was on the board in The Downtown Farm Stand. She is a Muncie resident since 2023, relocating most recently from Portland, Indiana, previously from many places. Rachel has been reciting and studying other people’s poems for most of her life and writing poetry of her own since March 2025. She enjoys sharing her love of words at the Quarterly Poetry Night at Heorot Pub and Draught House and has an ep version of her first poetry collection on Spotify (link in comments). She wrote the poem shared on the boards, "Resting", early on in her writing journey to describe the act of sharing the trauma of suppressed memories with friends in order to fold in levity and growth instead of fear and stagnation. The poem suggests that the process of healing, whilst an individual endeavor, is a venture of time, ritual and community, like sourdough. The poem is currently in Haul’n Oats.
And yes! Your eyes do not deceive you! The Downtown Farm Stand sells wine!
