Welcome Young Farmers and Allies
We are the Hoosier Young Farmers Coalition. We are young farmers and food advocates working to recruit, support, and promote young and beginning farmers throughout the state of Indiana.
We seek to create a lively network of young farmers and their allies and collaborate in making our food systems more localized, sustainable, and just.

Beginning Farmer FellowshipAre you a beginning farmer in years 3-10 of your operation? We want you to apply to our Fellowship!
The goal is to connect a cohort of seven farmers - and help them propel their farms forward. Fellows receive a stipend for a project on their farms and participate in a year of, well, fellowship with other beginning farmers in the state. |
EventsSometimes a 20 minute conversation with someone who gets it can change the course of a season.
Here are upcoming opportunities to have those conversations in the flesh with other small scale beginning farmers. |

PolicyThe Hoosier Young Farmers Coalition is non-partisan, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t politically engaged. Local, state, and federal policies directly impact how we farm, and we are organizing to make our concerns, ideas, and needs heard! Stay in the loop on what’s happening locally and globally, and follow the issues as they arise.
