Indiana Farmers and Food Makers Are Ready to Sell Wholesale. Here Is How to Reach Them.
Connecting Indiana's Local Food Sellers with the Buyers Who Need Them
FARMWISE Indiana recently wrapped up two Regional Wholesale Connect events in the northern half of the state, bringing together farmers, food producers, and food entrepreneurs who are actively seeking wholesale partnerships with buyers looking to source more locally made and grown food.
These events were designed with one goal in mind: get the right people in the same room. If you are purchasing food for a school, a church, a retail operation, or a food service or hospitality venue and you have been looking for reliable local sources, the producers below are ready to hear from you.
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Town of Winona Lake and The Kitchen and Pavilion in Logansport for providing venues that were perfectly suited for the work. Both locations are highly recommended for professional and personal events alike. And as a bonus, we had two of the best weather days of the summer.
We also want to thank every farmer, food maker, and buyer who showed up in the middle of back to school season and amid record-breaking storms across the state. Your time, partnership, and energy made these events everything we hoped they would be.
