Welcome to Muncie Food Hub Partnership. Our mission is to nourish and strengthen our community through the robust exchange of fresh and affordable local food. We manifest that investment in East Central Indiana food production through business development, education, and civic engagement.

Background
Dr. Joshua Gruver (Associate Professor at Ball State University, Department of Science and Sustainability) started the Muncie Food Hub Partnership after hearing the same problem from both sides of the table: local growers had good food without reliable markets, and many Muncie families struggled to find fresh, affordable produce in their neighborhoods. As a Ball State faculty member, he brought students, farmers, neighborhood leaders, and health partners together to design a practical fix: aggregate food from area farms and deliver it directly to the blocks that need it most
Our Mobile Markets
Fresh, affordable food brought directly into Muncie neighborhoods. Our mobile market stops across the city each week, offering seasonal produce, pantry staples, and friendly service
Recipes and Nutrition
Cook with confidence using simple, affordable recipes built around local produce. Each dish includes step-by-step instructions, nutrition facts, and tips on how to swap ingredients or make it kid-friendly. Eating well can be easy, even on a budget.
