The Food in Transit program provides fresh, affordable, and locally-grown produce, provided by Growing Places Indy, to current and future transit riders. “The health and wellness of our community is a major priority, and our team is proud to provide $15,000 in CDBG funds for Food In Transit. This collaborative program with IndyGo and Growing Places Indy is directly in alignment with the Hogsett Administration’s plan to address food issues in Indianapolis,” said Scarlett Martin, director of the Department of Metropolitan Development. The farmstand is made possible by the City of Indianapolis Department of Metropolitan Development’s Community Block Development Grant (CDBG) funding through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. In short: it’s a weekly subscription box for locally grown food!
For decades, CSAs have supported small-scale farmers and strengthened local food systems. Our farms benefit by receiving upfront, steady income from members, minimizing some of the risks that come with small-scale farming. At Growing Places Indy, the proceeds of your “share” support our mission of creating a more equitable and just food system.
Benefits
• 20 weeks of fresh produce from the beginning of June until the end of October (skipping the week of 4th of July)
• One share will typically support a family of 3 to 4
• Boxes may include: vegetables, herbs, plant starts, etc. (contents will change on a weekly basis)
