Indiana is a Midwestern agricultural powerhouse — the state produces substantial quantities of beef, pork, and poultry, and its farm-direct meat market is growing rapidly. Indianapolis's food scene has matured considerably, supporting quality independent butchers, while the state's rural counties maintain the small-town meat market tradition that has been part of Indiana life for generations.
