Statewide— Indiana Grown celebrates its five-year anniversary this month as it continues to attract more members and expand services, according to State Rep. Cindy Ziemke.
The program is available thanks to a 2014 law supported by Ziemke and aims to connect more Hoosier consumers with Indiana goods. Ziemke said more than 1,600 farms and businesses that grow, raise, produce or process agriculture items in the state participate in Indiana Grown and new members join almost daily.
According to Ziemke, Indiana Grown members and partners include farmers, producers, processors, artisans, retailers, grocers, and restaurants. Hoosiers can join for free online at IndianaGrown.org, and have to provide information to ensure their products meet Indiana Grown’s guidelines. Ziemke said consumers can also go to IndianaGrown.org for local shopping guides, recipes using Hoosier-sourced goods, locations of nearby farmers’ markets, and their popular Indiana Grown maps, trails, and guides.
