Genesis and Eli, husband and wife farmers based in Noblesville, Indiana, share their journey to produce delicious, local food. While some may call it the simple life, More Than Corn explores the real challenges of starting and operating a produce farm in the Midwest.
Two Ways to Watch!

Indiana & Farming are practically synonymous,
yet 90% of the food Indiana residents eat is sourced from outside our state.*
More Than Corn shines a spotlight on the Hoosier farmers who dedicate their time and talent to growing healthy, delicious food for us to enjoy right here in Indiana.

Presented by Partners IN Food & Farming...
Indiana is More Than Corn. Indiana is a ripe local watermelon, juice dripping down your fingers on a hot July day. Indiana is pumpkin patches and hayrides, and family gathered round a pasture-raised turkey on the Thanksgiving table. Indiana is game night with your friends, where snow is blowing outside but you’re warm inside with local cider and brews. Indiana is the first warm day of spring, with farmers planting carrots and collards and welcoming spring lambs, all the way from Gary to Madison. Indiana is growing an abundance of food for Hoosiers in every urban lot, rural farm, and small town.
At Partners IN Food and Farming (PIFF), we celebrate all that is Indiana farming, and our growing food system: Our vision is a thriving and connected food community for Indiana. Where farmers can make a living. Where restaurants and businesses and hospitals and schools dish up delicious food grown on Indiana farms. Where we don’t import 98% of our fruits and vegetables. Where all Hoosiers have a nourishing diet and a full pantry. Where our farming practices are healing our soils and our communities. More Than Corn helps PIFF show the good work that’s already happening in Indiana, and build energy for the work ahead. Enjoy the docuseries - and then join us in creating a thriving and connected food community in Indiana.
In Association with Indiana Humanities...
