Indiana’s rich agricultural heritage is returning to downtown Indianapolis for the second annual Farm to Capitol.
On Thursday, May 7, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Bicentennial Plaza, agriculture groups will showcase the industry that feeds, clothes and fuels our state.
State employees, legislators and the public are invited to step out of the office and onto the “farm”.
Following the success of last year’s inaugural event, where hundreds enjoyed fresh Indiana popcorn and met “Malibu” the cow, this year promises even more opportunities for hands-on learning and engagement. Hosted by Indiana’s Family of Farmers, Farm to Capitol serves as a unique bridge between the policymakers who shape Indiana’s future and the Hoosier farmers who work every day to nourish our communities.
