Cultivating a just, thriving and regenerative food system for all in Northwest Indiana
Region Roots is a mission-driven, non-profit local food hub operated by the
NWI Food Council since 2021. We serve to connect small scale and underserved farmers
with wholesale market opportunities and resources.
Your journey to fresh food begins here.
How it works:
Buyers place orders from multiple local farms online
Producers harvest the orders from the field
Region Roots picks up freshly harvested food from farms and artisan food makers
Fresh local food is delivered directly to the business, school or institution
Repeat weekly!
