Here’s a great new website to help open the communication lines between non-farm neighbors and farmers in Indiana. Designed by ZimmComm for Gary Truitt, Hoosier Ag Today, the site is called Indiana Family Farms. There’s a special section to learn more and meet dairy producers. Check it out!
Welcome to Indiana Family Farms. This web site is your personal introduction to some of the men and woman who make up the Indiana livestock industry. Most Hoosiers have not visited a dairy farm or spent time on a beef or pork operation. Most people have never met a farmer. This is a chance for you to do both – visit a livestock farm and meet the people who own and operate them.
With just the click of a mouse, you can see the animals and listen to the men and woman tell their stories. They will share with you their values, methods of production, and hopes for the future. These are real farm families telling their story in their own words. Come and meet the people who put the meat in your meat case and the milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream in your dairy case. This site was made possible by a grant from the Indiana State Department of Agriculture.
This can be a two way conversation. If you would like to ask a question of any of our producers or just ask about the industry in general, please e-mail us your request and we will get back to you with the answer.
