Indiana farming started with Native American tribes who grew corn and hunted in the forests. European settlers cleared the forests and discovered rich soil perfect for farming. Indiana became known for growing corn and raising pigs, which worked well together since pigs could eat the corn. The state also became famous for growing tomatoes, melons, and other vegetables that fed growing cities nearby.
Indiana has rich, dark soil from ancient prairies and forests that's perfect for growing many crops. The northern part of the state is flatter with more prairie soil, while the south has rolling hills. Indiana gets enough rain in spring and summer to grow crops well, and the climate has warm summers and cold winters. Rivers provide water for irrigation when needed.
Indiana grows excellent sweet corn that's ready to pick in July and August when it's tender and sweet. You can pick tomatoes in summer when they're ripe and perfect for sandwiches and salads. Apple orchards produce many varieties that ripen from August through October. Indiana is also famous for watermelons and cantaloupes that are ready to pick in late summer.
Summer and early fall are the best times to visit Indiana farms when most crops are ripe and ready to pick. The weather can be hot and humid in summer, so early morning or evening visits are more pleasant. Many farms offer corn mazes, hayrides, and other fun activities during fall harvest time. Indiana farms are often family-owned and have been passed down through generations.
