STATEHOUSE (Aug. 14, 2025) – The Fink Farm in Warren County recently received a Hoosier Homestead Centennial Award for being in operation since 1893, according to State Rep. Matt Commons (R-Williamsport) and State Sen. Spencer Deery (R-West Lafayette).
"Hoosier farmers are the backbone of our agricultural industry," Commons said. "It is an honor to recognize the hard work and dedication of these family farms."
Hoosier Homestead awards honor farms owned and operated by the same family for 100, 150 and 200 years with centennial, sesquicentennial or bicentennial awards.
"These family farms are a bridge that connects our modern era to Indiana's history and agricultural heritage," Deery said. "All Hoosiers should feel a sense of pride that for centuries, we have been a place where the agricultural spirit has thrived and that that culture continues today. Families like these make me so grateful to live in America's heartland."
This farm family was among 95 awardees recently honored during a ceremony at the Indiana State Fair.
Hoosier Homestead ceremonies are conducted every spring and summer. Since establishing the program in 1976, Indiana has recognized more than 6,000 farms for their economic and cultural impact to the state.
More information on the Hoosier Homestead Award Program and nomination forms are available at in.gov/isda. Nominations for the March 2026 ceremony are due by Nov. 1. Questions may be emailed to HoosierHomestead@ISDA.IN.gov.
