INDIANAPOLIS (WANE) — Indiana Grown announces the return of the Ultimate Farmers Market Contest for a third year and encourages Hoosiers to weigh in on the best markets.
Indiana Grown is an initiative backed by the state’s Department of Agriculture, with one goal: to promote products made and grown by Hoosiers, for Hoosiers.
“The Indiana’s Ultimate Farmers Market gives communities an opportunity to support their local farmers market by voting for their favorite,” said Caroline Patrick, Indiana Grown Program director. “It’s more than just casting a vote; it’s a way for consumers to champion their hometown markets and help others discover Indiana-grown products. Farmers’ markets play a vital role in our local economies, and it’s inspiring to see such strong support across the state.”
