Mad Farmers Collective
Vendor
The Mad Farmers Collective grows top-quality vegetables and garden transplants using organic, no-till methods on 1.5 acres in downtown Indy. We are a small business proudly working with local community groups, other small businesses, and our customers to create a healthier community.
Mad Farmers Collective strictly adheres to growing practices that are good for the soil, the people, the crops, and the bees on the farm. For us this means avoiding all synthetic or chemical inputs. We use only compost, cover crops, crop rotation, and organically approved fertilizers to achieve healthy plants and soils. We use small-scale intensive gardening techniques such as the human-powered broad fork for tilling. We use row covers, netting, traps, and clay sprays to avoid the pests. In the spring and fall, unheated low tunnels to extend our growing season and unheated high tunnels in the winter. Our most important organic practice is to create an incredibly diverse farm. We choose a wide range of crops and a wide range of varieties of those crops so as to naturally prevent disease, minimize pests, and insure against crop losses. These careful, labor-intensive practices create healthy and nutrient-dense crops that truly nourish people. We know you'll taste a difference.
