Smile

What makes Alison Farber smile? “Seeing people be happy and be outside and everybody trying to get back to normal, which makes me really excited,” said the then 34-year-old Noblesville resident. Today’s feature is a look back at one of The Times’ previous Faces of Hamilton County. She and her oldest son, Emmett (above), then 4, were found sitting on a lounger in the middle of Federal Hill Commons during the 2021 Noblesville Farmers Market. Alison and husband, Daniel, also have a 2-year-old son, Jonah, who both stayed at home. “We’re just visiting (the market and park) to give dad some time.” Alison is originally from Elkhart but moved to Noblesville. “This is where my husband’s family lives. We lived away for a while, and we decided to come back to Indiana.” She is a local business owner and career coach and works from home, virtually based. They love living here. “Noblesville is just a good location and is fantastically accessible to Indianapolis.” The Noblesville Farmers Market is open 8 a.m. to noon Saturdays for the 2023 season.
