INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana State Fair guests shopped locally made and grown products at the Indiana Grown Marketplace this year.

The store featured 407 products representing over 90 Hoosier businesses.

“The State Fair always brings the best Hoosiers have to the table — the same can be said for the Indiana Grown Marketplace given that all products were cultivated with Hoosier care,” said Don Lamb, director of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture.

Here are a few samples of goods that were for sale:
