Extension professionals from the Horticulture and Landscape Architecture Department and the Diversified Farming and Food Systems Team hosted the first-ever combined Indiana Horticulture and Small Farm Conference at the Hendricks County Fairgrounds and Conference Complex, March 3-5, 2026.
With a total of 64 educational sessions, 22 research posters, and several demonstrations to choose from over the course of 3 days, our nearly-200 daily participants had no shortage of opportunities to learn and network. We’re grateful to the many speakers, sponsors, and programming partners who made this event possible in 2026! Additionally, we are proud to have worked with a caterer who sourced so much of the conference food from Indiana producers. We’re especially grateful to producers who took time out of their schedules to join us at the conference, and we hope you will plan to join us again in the future. Plans for 2027 are still to be determined, but we will be sure to share updates as specifics are finalized.
If you have specific suggestions for topics or speakers you’d like to see in 2027, please share your thoughts through this survey. We want this to be a meaningful and helpful conference to Indiana producers and would very much appreciate your input.
