Officials, staff celebrate new agriculture-focused facility in Fishers

A staff member at a morning event in Fishers described the opening of a new agriculture-focused facility that organizers say includes produce fields, row crops, a small nursery with animals, a nature-based playground and an adjacent classroom building.

Organizers framed the site as an opportunity to connect children and community members with agriculture and local food systems. "To see the opportunity to tie kids back to agriculture and really the broader community, and we have people of all ages participating in, agriculture, which which is exactly what the vision was to begin with," a staff member said. The speaker added that "the country store that's gonna be coming, the facility for the classroom, the playground behind it, it's just an evolution of a concept that's really found its mark here in the city of Fishers, and we're excited to see it continue to grow and evolve."

The remarks described features on the site: produce fields, row crops, a small nursery with animals, and a nature-based playground. The speakers noted an existing building adjacent to the site and said a country store and a classroom facility are planned; no dates, budgets or operating details were specified in the remarks.
