New Fishers park will focus on farming, helping to stock local food pantries

One of Indiana’s fastest growing cities will soon harken back to its rural roots – farming. The city of Fishers announced plans Wednesday for a new 30-acre park called Fishers Agri-Park. The park will be run by Brandywine Creek Farms, a nonprofit organization that is working to eliminate hunger by providing locally raised produce to central Indiana food pantries. Fishers Agri-Park will be located near 113th Street and Florida Road and will feature crop fields, livestock, outdoor classrooms, a Farmer’s Market and eating area as well as beehives and local honey production.
