Hoosiers can shop local with Indiana Grown
With more than 50,000 farms, Indiana stands out as a leading agricultural state and is known for supplying top-quality produce. However, less than 10% of the $16 billion Hoosiers spend annually on food is sourced within Indiana. To promote shopping local, multiple resources make it easier to buy homegrown food and handmade products throughout the state.
Did you know? Indiana Grown is a network of local farmers and producers helping connect consumers like you to Hoosier-made products. Look for the Indiana Grown label on products when you visit grocery stores, restaurants and convenience stores. You can also visit IndianaGrown.org and search for members and products near you.
Prefer to have your food delivered? Indiana-based Market Wagon is an online delivery service where you can connect with local food vendors and artisans, and purchases can be delivered directly to you or a specified Market Host. No membership or minimum purchase is required.
