Hoosier Harvest Council - our new name
 Hancock Harvest Council voted at our annual meeting to make a change in our name to be more inclusive of our surrounding counties and beyond. The council is looking at growing our membership and helping to build on the availability of local products. It will take time to get the new name up on graphics and website, etc. Look for upcoming changes, but if you use Hancock Harvest Council, it will forward you to the new web site as soon as it is changed.
