FISHERS — The growing season is underway, and after months of preparation AgriPark, an urban farm run by the city of Fishers, opened its gates to the public for the first time this year.

The free park they are working to provide more than just free fresh food options to local Hoosiers.

“We think last year like 30% of the roughly 35,000 people who came out year were new faces,” said Adam Wagner, the Agricultural Coordinator at the park. “We expect maybe some higher numbers this year.”

Wagner told WRTV the 33-acre Urban farm that opened in 2020 and still hopes to provide more than just a free U-Pick experience.

“We want to continue to grow and offer the u-pick program, our education piece, summer camps,” Wagner told WRTV.

On Wednesday, volunteers were on the ground planting more produce for Hoosiers to pick in just a few weeks.
