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!
