What’s From the
Ground Up?
From the Ground Up’s goal is to strengthen a
sustainable local food system. Our focus is on healthy,
locally and sustainable grown agricultural products
in Bureau/Putnam Counties, the people that grow
them and the markets where they sell. We’ve
discovered a talented group of local growers and we
want to share them and their great food with you!
We have a lot to celebrate this year, with our new
website/Facebook page, expanded markets, education
programs, loyalty program, and recipe cards. We
focused our energy towards a healthier, well-fed
community, worked hard in the fields, and brought
the best to the customers. Success tastes good!

Growers
We live in an area with a rich
farming history and some of the
best soils in the world. We
also have some of the best
growers, providing our area
with an abundance of
healthful choices in fresh
fruits, vegetables, herbs,
meats and eggs. They have a
strong commitment to
sustainable farming with the
firm conviction that healthy
soils produce healthy food.
You'll have confidence as
you eat and share their food!

Chef Monika cares what’s inside!
We are blessed to have Chef Monika of the Chestnut
Street Inn as a huge supporter of our local foods
movement. She’s a nationally recognized chef who
cares what’s inside her eggs, meat and produce. She
buys from many of our area’s finest local growers.
The combination of their great food and her great
talent has won her many awards. We are thankful for
the time she has donated in cooking, sharing recipes
and educating about local foods. About the eggs she
says, “They are so bright colored and so perky I get
positively giddy about how good the food will be!”
