The Farm

Buy Food From the Farm

Support Bellfound by buying a CSA farm share!

Starting in 2019 we'll be offering CSA (community-supported agriculture) farm shares - you can buy a share of produce from the farm, and pick up a box of fresh produce on a weekly basis during the growing season. If you're interested in getting more information about CSA shares, please email Alena.

How We Farm

Bellfound uses organic practices, though we are not certified organic. Our methods rely on intensive, successive planting to produce a diversity of crops and keep the land healthy.

What can you expect to see when you come to the farm? Not what most Hoosiers think of when we think "farm." Our farm will be a patchwork of 50+ varieties of vegetables, fruits, and flowers. We'll grow our produce using primarily hand tools and elbow grease - although we may get help from a very small tractor on occasion!

If you have questions about our growing process, please reach out to our farmer, Alena.

Why We Farm

Farming provides women at Bellfound the opportunity to learn important skills in a diversified, cooperative small business context while working to increase food access in Indianapolis.

Through the farm, each participant is able to build work skills, engage with the community, and discover where her talents lie. Most women who come through the program will not become farmers, but experiences gained on the farm will allow each woman to hone in on skills that lead to a future career.
