Armand's Harper Valley Farm (Westport, Indiana)
Armand's Harper Valley Farms is a diversified family farm. They primarily raise hogs, cattle, corn & soybeans. The genetic lines of their livestock date back to the 1940's when Albert's Grandfather moved from the Jefferson Proving Grounds to the Westport area. When Albert was in high school, he bought the farm across the road from the family farm and diversified into raising about 20 acres of pumpkins and vegetable crops. Diane has been an active member of local farmers' markets in the area for the past 27 years. It is their hope to pass on their farm to the next generation.
Some would say Albert is "living the dream" because he gets to go out and play with his pigs every day. He checks on his livestock in the pasture and in the barns around the farm daily. He truly enjoys working with the animals.
Arnold Farm (Rushville, Indiana)
Arnold Farms is in the process of transitioning a 200 year old family farm from a conventional grain and livestock operation toward a diversified system that is sustainable and regenerative for the environment, our family, and the community. The Arnold family first settled in Rush County in 1820 and have been farming there ever since. The farm followed a typical path for the region, beginning as a highly diversified farm where the Arnold family raised a wide range of livestock and crops. As the nation grew and growing urban populations demanded greater quantities of food, the farm began to specialize in a few grains and livestock while adopting new technologies. At Arnold Farms there are often four generations all working together to get ready for market, keep the weeds at bay, and make sure everything runs smoothly.

GreenRiver Greenhouse (Peru, Indiana)
GreenRiver Green House is located in Peru, Indiana. GreenRiver Green House is unique because it is an Aquaponic farm which is an alternative farming system. This type of farming uses the combination of Aquaponics (raising fish) and Hydronponic ( growing plants in water, we use a floating raft system). The fish creates a natural fertilizer of nutrient rich water for the pepper plants. Then the pepper plants purify the water for the fish. This creates a perfect alternative to soil farming.
At GreenRiver we buy a fish called Tilapia as "fingerlings" and raise them (in a controlled environment hut 3,200 sq ft) to the right size, then transfer them to the grow beds in the 16,000 sq ft greenhouse where they naturally fertilize the water for the pepper plants that are growing on floating rafts. GreenRiver is a year round producing greenhouse.

We mostly use the mineral solution only in channels but have a small amount of plants in perlite as well
Their goal is to help address the demand for locally-grown, organic produce that can be grown year round.
