INDIANA—With the arrival of autumn, Hoosiers and visitors have plenty of reasons to celebrate the season with a trip to one of Indiana’s many agritourism destinations. From getting lost in a corn maze to enjoying a wagon ride or sampling farm-fresh products, agritourism is a fun way for everyone to experience the state’s agricultural bounty.
The Indiana State Department of Agriculture’s Indiana Grown program is a fantastic resource for planning your next outing. You can use their interactive member map to locate agritourism businesses across the state, ensuring you find local farms, orchards, and venues near you.
For those eager to taste the season, the Indiana Grown program also offers a seasonality guide to show which crops are currently in harvest, as well as local events for farm-related activities, no matter where you are in Indiana. Additionally, Visit Indiana offers its own interactive map with an agritourism filter, providing you with even more choices for a safe and family-friendly fall adventure.
Share the Road Safely with Farmers
While enjoying the scenery, remember that fall is also harvest season, one of the busiest times for Indiana farmers. This means motorists must be prepared to share rural roads with large, heavy, and slow-moving farm equipment, such as tractors and combines, as farmers work to get their crops to market.
To ensure a safe season for everyone, the Indiana Department of Homeland Security and the Indiana State Police are urging drivers to exercise caution and patience.
