Explore Local Food Week 2024 Events!
The Northeast Indiana Local Food Network created Local Food Week in 2020 as a way for families and farmers to connect around the food they both love. Hundreds of families and local food enthusiasts participate each year.
Our 5th Annual Local Food Week features 40 tours and events hosted by farms, markets, artisan food producers and organizations, with 20 new Local Food Week hosts joining this local food celebration for the first time. Come learn where our local food comes from, meet the folks who produce it, and taste the bounty that comes from Our Land to Our Tables.
This calendar provides an overview of all the events being offered each day during this region-wide 10-day local food celebration. Most Local Food Week events are free, though some require pre-registration. If no pre-registration is needed, just come to the event location at the appointed time to participate.
