Daviess County Produce Dealer Gets Funding for Ag-Related Distribution

The Produce Patch in Plainville in Daviess County is one of 17 recipients of over $6.7 million dollars in grant funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service and the Indiana State Department of Agriculture.
The grants are designed to help build resilience across the middle of the supply chain while strengthening local and regional food systems.
Produce Patch, a specialty crop producer and processor, will use grant funds to expand with a new facility.
The expansion would help to add capacity to service four or more new distribution channels.
It would also allow an increase in the amount of local produce aggregated, packaged and washed for community partners like Daviess Community Hospital and North Daviess Schools.
