Local Food Delivery Isn’t Just for Suburbs

When people think about local food delivery in central Indiana, they often picture places like Carmel or Fishers. We deliver there every week. But that’s not where most of our customers live.

Most of our deliveries go to rural households.

We deliver within roughly 70 miles of our farm in Greenfield, Indiana. That radius includes small towns, country roads, and places that don’t always show up in “local delivery” conversations — New Castle, Richmond, Nashville, Liberty, Cambridge City, and many others.

For us, delivery has never been about convenience marketing. It’s about access.

A 70-Mile Radius Covers More Country Than City

Seventy miles in central Indiana is a lot of ground. It’s not dense. It includes farms, acreages, small towns, and people who chose to live outside population centers.

Many of our customers:

• Live well outside town limits

• Plan food purchases ahead of time

• Buy in bulk or seasonally

• Care about how food is raised and handled

That kind of customer plans carefully and expects delivery to be reliable and straightforward.

Why We Built Our Own Delivery Routes

From the beginning, we chose to manage delivery ourselves.

That means:

• One driver

• One well-used van

• One route at a time

We don’t outsource delivery or hand routes to third-party services that skip long drives or rural stops. Routes are planned carefully so food stays cold, deliveries stay predictable, and costs stay reasonable.

Rural customers shouldn’t have fewer options just because homes are farther apart.

Free Delivery, Built for Real Life

We offer free delivery across our delivery area. There’s no minimum tied to distance and no added fee for rural stops.

Most customers aren’t home when we deliver, and that’s expected. Orders are packed at the farm, placed in insulated bags with ice packs, and left at the door. There’s no need to leave a cooler out or plan your day around a delivery window.

This works because the system is simple. Food is handled the same way every week, by the same people, using the same routes. Keeping delivery small allows it to stay consistent — and free.

Many rural customers schedule delivery on workdays or busy weeks and come home to food that’s still cold and ready to put away.

Local Food Shouldn’t Stop at indianapolis City Limits

If local food only works in suburbs, it isn’t really local.

We built our delivery radius around the farm, not around population density. That’s why our customer base skews rural. It reflects who we serve and how we operate.

If you’re within about 70 miles of Greenfield, Indiana, there’s a good chance you’re already near one of our routes.

And if you’re not yet, that’s usually how routes begin.
