Taste from Indiana Farms returns to the Indiana State Fair

Indiana Farm Bureau’s second vice president says Taste from Indiana Farms is a way to connect directly with  consumers.

Janis Highley says fairgoers are tasting some of the state’s top production crops.

“It might be a product that’s in everyday foods that they eat,” she says. “I love seeing consumers eyes light up when they realize that this not only came from Indiana, but that’s what’s in that product that makes it look or taste like that.”

She tells Brownfield there is something in agriculture that can resonate with anyone.

“It doesn’t matter if you live in rural Indiana or right in the heart of Marion County, downtown Indianapolis,” she says. “We are here to educate and advocate for the farmers in rural America.”

Indiana crops featured include corn, eggs, lamb, tomatoes, mint, dairy, maple syrup, and popcorn.
The Indiana State Fair runs through August 18th.
