Logansport Farmer’s Market

In December 2024, the Cass County Community Foundation received a grant of $5 million from Lilly Endowment Inc. through the Community Leadership Implementation Grants component of the eighth phase of its Giving Indiana Funds for Tomorrow (GIFT VIII) initiative. This is one of 30 implementation grants being awarded through GIFT VIII, a statewide Lilly Endowment initiative designed to support the efforts of community foundations and their partners to strengthen quality of life for the people in the towns, cities, counties, and regions they serve.

With the grant, the Cass County Community Foundation will be collaborating with partners to construct a permanent farmer’s market, commercial incubator kitchen and community gardening plots.

The groundbreaking for the new farmers market pavilion, incubator kitchen, and demo kitchen was held Friday, April 11, 2025 at the site at 4th and Market Streets.

Since December, the CCCF community initiatives committee met, and Steinberger Construction was selected to manage the project build and design. A series of meetings were also held with primary end-users of the facilities and the design teams to produce a structure that will be multi-use and become a downtown icon for local residents and visitors alike.

The pavilion is anticipated to be completed by fall 2025 and the kitchen in January 2026.
