Resource Specialist
Linda Powell spent 15 years working on her vegetable and flower produce farm in western Vanderburgh county and finished a degree from USI in 2005 completing a BS in Biology with an emphasis in plant science. Before taking the resource specialist position with Indiana State Dept of Agriculture, she spent two and a half years in Gibson county as a watershed coordinator for the district working on 319 grants for BMP installation. Linda serves clients in South West Indiana Gibson, Posey and Vanderburgh Counties.
There are numerous farm markets and orchards in
Vanderburgh County these days. There
has been tremendous growth in the availability of locally grown foods for
people to enjoy. The four markets
featured here are just a few that we can show for our county. They all produce most of the goods that they
offer and they work very hard to produce good quality fresh produce. Some are striving to increase their variety
and are using equipment to extend their growing season to be able to offer goods throughout the year.
