Our Mission
Growing Food, Growing Community
Indy F.A.R.M.S Co-op is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to serving seniors, families, and underserved communities through food access, agriculture, and wellness.
We are a collaborative co-op made up of farmers, food producers, educators, and community-based businesses. Each member operates independently while contributing to a shared mission.
Together, we share resources, support growth, and serve the community through programs, food access, and agricultural initiatives.
