Technical Assistance Network

The Partners IN Food and Farming (PIFF) Technical Assistance Network is a statewide hub that connects Indiana’s farmers, food businesses, and food system leaders with the right expertise at the right time.

Our network is built in collaboration with grassroots organizations, small farmers, small farmer- and food business–consulting businesses, regenerative agriculture specialists, and farmer mentors who share a commitment to cultivating a food system that is resilient, equitable, and flourishing, where success is measured not only in harvests and revenue, but in healthy communities, shared abundance, and lasting relationships.
