INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana State Fair and Corteva Agriscience are proud to unveil the highly anticipated 2023 Featured Farmers that will be honored at this year’s Indiana State Fair. In its eighth year, this popular program celebrates and helps put a face on Hoosier agriculture by connecting consumers with fellow Hoosiers who grow the food they eat.
These 18 farm operations represent regions throughout the state, showcasing different agricultural products and stories during the 18-day State Fair, July 28 to August 20. The Hackman Family Farm of Jackson County is celebrated on the second day of the fair on Saturday, July 29.
“The Featured Farmers program is all about connecting fairgoers to farmers during the State Fair, to help connect the dots about where their food comes from,” said Cindy Hoye, Executive Director, of the Indiana State Fair Commission. “These farmers have incredible stories to tell, and we are proud to be the backdrop for these conversations.”
Visitors to the Indiana State Fair can attend a live chat at 2:30 p.m. in the Glass Barn with a Featured Farmer every day of the Fair, in addition to many other opportunities to talk with that day’s Featured Farm family and learn about their operation. To learn more about the farms and see a complete list of featured farmers, their farm products, and their home counties, visit IndianaStateFair.com.
