Sustainable Farming

What is sustainable farming? Many farms seek the same goals as organic growers but don't meet the strict USDA standards. Ask producers at the farmers markets how they grow their produce!

  • guarding and improving soil quality
  • minimize dependence on non-renewable fuels, pesticides and fertilizers
  • promote successful, stable family farms supporting the local community

    Check out Seldom Seem Farm, they are veggie growers in Hendricks County and provide a way for you to purchase their produce!
  • Organic Resource

    Check out the Cornucopia Institute promoting justice for family-scale farms.
