​Calling farmers and ranchers in Central and Southeastern Indiana! Hoosier Harvest Market is a farmer-owned cooperative food hub operating in the Indianapolis, Greenfield, and Batesville areas. Member-owners can list products on our online marketplace to access retail and wholesale customers in these communities and surrounding areas. You control the products you sell, the price you receive, and how your farm is displayed on the market. Hoosier Harvest Market is a great way to increase your customer base without adding additional farmers markets!

It is almost time for the Food & Growers Association Winter Conference!  We are looking forward to the conference, and we hope you are also.  We will be having the Winter Market for vendors to set up at again this year.  It will be open to the public from 9am – 11am and to conference attendees throughout the day.

Once again this year, we are preparing a great lineup of speakers that we are eager to share with all of the attendees.  The keynote speaker for the 2020 FGA Winter Conference will be Nate and Liz Brownlee, owners and operators of Nightfall Farm.  Some of the topics that are planned to be covered by speakers during break-out sessions are media marketing, agritourism, the importance of local foods, ways to process and preserve foods, permaculture, and many more exciting topics.
​
We would like to invite you to participate as a vendor in our Winter Market, which includes a mix of vendors offering products for sale as well as vendors offering information.  It is free to set up a table at this year’s Winter Conference/Winter Market, which includes 1 table and 1 ticket to the Winter Conference.  If additional individuals would like to attend, the cost is $30 per person.  We ask that you stay until the close of the conference.  This is going to be a great way to sell your products and network with other farmers and consumers alike.  Many consumers attend the conference just to find out where they can purchase locally produced foods and products within the area.
The Winter Conference will be held on Saturday, February 1, 2020, 9 am to 2:30 pm at Batesville Middle School, 201 N. Mulberry St., Batesville, IN, in the Commons area of the school.
