Local Food Throwdown Silent Auction

Thank you for supporting the Local Food Throwdown Silent Auction where you can win special dining packages, one-of-a-kind farm to table dinners, romantic getaways, local food & beverage products, local artist creations, local services, and uniquely local experiences.

Each auction item is generously donated by local farms, chefs, restaurants, artisan food & beverage producers, artists, and local businesses in support of the Northeast Indiana Local Food Network.

The 32Auctions platform makes it easy to register for the auction, and to place your bids directly from your phone. You can receive Auction Bid notifications by text, so you can follow the auction progress. Bid generously on your favorite items and experiences, knowing your auction bid directly supports the Northeast Indiana Local Food Network and our vision for a thriving and resilient local food system.

The Northeast Indiana Local Food Network envisions a thriving Northeast Indiana food system where fresh, local food is at the heart of the community, readily obtainable by all, and where farmers are empowered by a strong regional food economy. Through innovation and collaboration, we strive for a resilient food system that regenerates the land, fosters connection, and ensures a healthier future for generations to come.

Our nonprofit organization was founded in 2018 to grow and connect our region’s local food system, so together we can bring more local food from Our Land to Our Tables in homes, schools and restaurants. Learn more about Our Impact and Our Strategic Plan and ways you can get involved on our website.

The Northeast Indiana Local Food Network is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and donations are tax deductible. All funds raised go toward local food programming, outreach and planning for our Northeast Indiana local food system, and support initiatives that reduce food insecurity and build a stronger regional food economy for farmers and families across Northeast Indiana.
