Indiana Grown: Indiana State Department of Agriculture created Indiana Grown – a statewide branding initiative. By allowing our members to use the Indiana Grown logo on their products, the initiative aims to not only form a clearer designation of which products truly come from Indiana, but to also help Hoosier consumers easily identify and buy these products.
The three major components of the initiative include:
* Helping Indiana farmers and producers have a greater market for their products.
* Supporting Indiana processers in their effort to process more Indiana Grown products.
* Educating consumers on the importance of buying Indiana Grown products.
