Northeast Indiana Local Food Network
With the Small Farmers and Ranchers Gatherings, we facilitate producer network-building and information sharing to problem-solve and have fun collectively. Having an area to invite people to speak to their collective years of data is a valuable method to mitigate the conditions of a food desert in a localized means. After our first gathering in 2018, some farmers made initial connections with Valley restaurant house owners to take a step into being extra domestically sourced. I am immensely happy with the connections, information, investments, and capability that have grown on account of IAFN and PSM’s work.
