Peak Harvest at the AgriPark — What’s Ready to Pick Today

Fishers, IN · July 9, 2026

The humidity is holding steady this morning, but the breeze should make for a decent walk along the Nickel Plate Trail before the afternoon clouds settle in.

📰 The Lead

The AgriPark is hitting its mid-summer stride, with the "U-Pick" fields officially opening for several peak-season crops this morning. Located at 113th Street and Florida Road, the 33-acre urban farm offers residents a chance to harvest their own vegetables at no cost—a rare perk of local residency. This week, the focus shifts to green beans and summer squash, which have thrived under the recent heat.

Beyond the produce, the park’s livestock area has seen a surge in visitors following the birth of two new calves last month. Staff are reminding neighbors to bring their own bags and check the daily harvest board at the entrance, as quantities are limited to ensure everyone gets a share. It’s a busy window for the farm team, who are also prepping for the first round of educational "Mud Day" events later this month.
