Produce Patch in Daviess Co. Awarded Funding to Support Food Chain Resiliency

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service and the Indiana State Department of Agriculture have awarded over $6.7M for 17 projects through the Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure Program.

The grants will build resilience across the middle of the supply chain while strengthening local and regional food systems.

Produce Patch, LLC, of Daviess County, a specialty crop producer and processor in Plainville, will use grant funds to expand with a new facility.

This expansion would help to add capacity to service four or more new distribution channels.

It would also allow an increase in the amount of local produce aggregated, packaged and washed for community partners like Daviess County Hospital and North Daviess Schools.
