About this conference
The Indiana Horticulture Conference and the Small Farm Conference have combined to create one larger, unified event for agriculture professionals. The Indiana Small Farm Conference has been a leading event for Indiana's small and diversified farm community, offering continuing education and opportunities for farmer-to-farmer networking. Launched by Purdue University Extension following a 2011 gathering of farmers and stakeholders, the conference has grown to host over 500 attendees, 50 exhibitors, and national speakers. Now combined with the Indiana Horticulture Conference, this three-day event brings together farmers, specialty crop growers, and agricultural professionals from across the state. Hosted by Purdue University Extension with support from Purdue Agriculture departments such as Entomology and industry partners, the conference provides practical, research-based education, real-world strategies, and valuable connections for those working in agriculture.
