Whether visiting an orchard such as Tuttle Orchard in Greenfield, getting lost in a corn maze at Goebel Farms in Evansville, learning about livestock at Kuehnert Dairy in Fort Wayne, or visiting a local winery like Wildcat Creek in Lafayette. There are many opportunities to visit an agritourism operation.

Indiana Grown has an interactive map you can use to find a place to visit near you.
