Our Neighbors
Folks here in southern Indiana are doing all sorts of neat things. Here are a few highlights we find especially interesting:
Looking for More Tasty, Local Food?
August Rising Acres - Looking for great veggies? August Rising Acres grows incredible vegetables. We met Amanda because we both sell at the Columbus Brown Street Market, and because we're both supporters of the Columbus Food Co-op. We realized we have lots in common: a focus on healthy soil, delicious food, and strong communities.
Good Seed Garden - She's got the goods! Check out Good Seed Garden's veggie CSA, or just stop by Lorraine's booth at the Columbus Farmer's Market. Yum!
Plumer & Bowers Farmstead - We've gotten to know Dennis and Tricia through the Seymour Farmer's Market, and their story resonates with us. They, too, have returned home to the family farm and are in the process of converting from conventional row crops to pasture. If you're looking for grass-fed beef or locally grown and ground whole wheat flour, look no farther than their family farm.
Columbus Food Co-op - A thriving food co-op is a grocery store. It's also a community of people who share knowledge, recipes, and food. And a food co-op is a way to invest in our community, create jobs, and keep our dollars local. We can't wait to see the Columbus Food Co-op open its doors. We're partnering with them on local food-related events, and we're member owners. Someday soon, we hope you'll find our meat for sale on their shelves. Check out this neat video that explains why it's time for the Co-op to open and check out their new guide to finding local food in the Columbus area.
Upland Pumphouse - Go our for a local brew AND local food. We've been selling whole chickens to Upland since Spring 2017, and it's a high value partnership: they're spreading the good word that local matters to your taste buds and your community, we're selling our food, and customers are eating fantastic dishes (have you tried the Nightfall Fried Chicken?).
Want to Take Care of Your Whole Body?
Uptown Yoga - Our friends at Uptown Yoga have affordable classes, a beautiful space (!), and high quality teachers. Eat good food and then engage your body with yoga!
Eco-Massage - Farmers use their bodies, so we need serious massages. If you need one, too (and you're in the Madison area), we recommend Eco-Massage!
Want to Learn More About Agriculture?
Farm Indiana - We write a column for this monthly insert into The Seymour Tribune and the Columbus Republic. Our column, "The View at Nightfall," shares our adventures, failures, and successes as beginning farmers with the wider southern Indiana community. Farm Indiana reaches about 30,000 copies in our region each month.
Hoosier Young Farmers Coalition - If you're a young farmer or ally, join this group! These are young and beginning sustainable farmers in Indiana looking to connect, collaborate and interact with one another. Farming is tough work, especially in the beginning years, and we provide a community of like minded and similarly engaged peers to help ensure young and beginning farmers find success in Indiana, and have some fun along the way!
Edible Indy - A fantastic quarterly reporting on food in the Indy area (but really, all around Indiana). It's free. Check it out here.
