“Indiana Grown” Initiative Making Locally-Grown Food More Available To Consumers

From chicken and pork to corn and strawberries – the list of foods produced in Indiana is almost endless. And the new “Indiana Grown” initiative is making locally-grown foods more readily available to local consumers. Program manager David King says with more than 60-thousand farms, Indiana is the 10th-largest farming state in the country. But he says we’re not feeding ourselves. The program promotes Indiana products to residents, restaurants, markets, and others. King says any of four different labels could appear on certain foods, including: “100 Percent Indiana” – which means all ingredients must be produced in-state.
