Indiana Grown has released the products included in its 2026 Indiana Grown Holiday Gift Box, which contains 14 products from 11 Indiana Grown member businesses. A total of 400 boxes are available, and the program is a statewide initiative housed within the Indiana State Department of Agriculture.
Why it matters
The holiday box has grown from 200 boxes sold in 2023 to a program that sold out in under two weeks in 2024 and in 2025, giving Hoosier food and goods producers a broader out-of-state reach. For Indiana residents, it is a way to see which local member products are being featured this season.
The figures come from Indiana Grown's own sales and shipping records for its holiday gift boxes across 2023 through 2025. The 2026 box contains 14 products from 11 member businesses, with 400 boxes available.

Health Landscape
Indiana Grown's holiday box follows a pattern of expanding state-backed marketing for in-state food producers, growing from 200 boxes in 2023 to 400 in 2026. The program reflects the broader interest in regionally sourced and locally made food as a counterpart to mass-market grocery supply.
If you are looking for gifts or pantry items made by Indiana producers, the 2026 box offers 14 products from 11 member businesses in one order. Because only 400 boxes are available and past seasons sold out quickly, it is worth checking availability early through the Indiana Grown website.
The takeaway
Supporting regional food producers is one practical way to shop with more knowledge of where your food comes from. Reviewing product ingredient labels, which the Indiana Grown listings can help you do, remains a useful habit for anyone managing their diet.
