Building a Cooperative Community: Supporting Local Farms Together

At Tyner Pond Farm, we are deeply grateful for the support of our Central Indiana customers. Your dedication to purchasing local food from our website and utilizing our free delivery service has helped us grow into a sustainable business. More importantly, your trust and support are playing a critical role in creating a resilient and interconnected community of local farmers.

Strengthening Our Farming Community

Our mission extends beyond Tyner Pond Farm. We are proud to partner with other dedicated local farms, including Gunthorp Farm, Shanti Farm, Kemp Organic Dairy, Bastin Bee Farm, and several local pork and egg producers. These partnerships are the backbone of a cooperative effort in our community to bring you the best local products while supporting small-scale agriculture. Many small farmers face significant challenges in expanding their reach beyond the Saturday farmers market. They often lack the resources and infrastructure needed to grow their business. Through our collaborative network, we aim to bridge this gap and provide these farmers with a platform to reach more customers, ensuring they can thrive and continue their essential work.

The Role of Our Customers

Your support is instrumental in making this cooperative effort successful. By choosing to buy from Tyner Pond Farm and our partner farms, you are not just purchasing high-quality, locally-produced food. You are actively participating in a movement that prioritizes sustainable, local agriculture over corporate monopolies. Your purchases help maintain the viability of small farms and contribute to a stronger, more resilient local food system. We take pride in knowing each farmer we work with personally. We have spent countless hours on their farms, understanding their practices, and ensuring that their products meet the high standards you expect. This personal connection and trust are the foundation of our cooperative network.

Creating a Resilient Community

Together, we are building a community that values local food and supports the hard-working farmers who produce it. Your commitment to buying local helps make food more accessible and ensures that small farms can continue to operate and grow. We are all deeply grateful for your role in this effort. Thank you for helping us create a more resilient and sustainable community. Your trust and support make all the difference, and we look forward to continuing this journey together.
