The Madison County Local Food Network was established in 2019 by a group of residents concerned with food access in Madison County, Indiana. MCLFN is a collaborative effort to address broad food system issues within our county. The initial working groups established included consumer education, community gardens, food insecurity, food waste, and food entrepreneurship.
