Indiana wants to connect farmers, restaurants, grocery stores, farmers markets and consumers to promote products and foods grown and produced in the Hoosier State.
That's the goal behind the state's new Indiana Grown program.
Hoosiers will be able to identify Indiana Grown products in three categories:
State Department of Agriculture Director Ted McKinney says consumers can use the program's website, IndianaGrown.org, to connect with Indiana brands – and more resources are on the way.
"There's also a mobile app in the works that will include a way to scan the UPC codes in grocery stores or wherever you might find a UPC code and you'll see that list of Indiana Grown vendors and products," he says.
More than 200 producers have already signed up with Indiana Grown, including everything from Red Gold Tomatoes, Creighton Brothers chicken and eggs, wineries and breweries, to hardwood.
