Source Suggestions Pros/Cons

Local Farms Use Purdue’s Map, Indiana State Department List, current relationships.

Can take more time, involves another delivery but could support a neighbor farm

Food Hubs This Old Farm , Hoosier Harvest Market Place

These organizations aggregate only from local farms so you know the product is local. This Old Farm works to use a delivery company that you already get a delivery from to limit trucking in. Source identification a big part of the service!

Produce Company

Piazza You may already have a relationship with a company that can provide local products!

Three Sources
