Correctional Industrial Facility Year End Garden Harvest

Pendleton, Ind. - The Correctional Industrial Facility (CIF) in Pendleton recently had its final harvest of the 2020 growing season with the garden producing over five tons of produce. All of the harvested produce is donated locally to seven different food banks.  

The garden, located on correctional facility grounds, is tended by offenders who plant, care for and harvest the produce through the growing season. Then, under the direction of staff the produce is distributed in a joint effort to various local food banks with assistance from the Madison County Master Gardner’s Association. 

Both staff and offenders take pride in giving back to the community and have expressed their passion for the project and willingly put forth the effort so those in need can benefit from the collective effort of all involved in this growing season. 

The donations throughout the year have consisted of Tomatoes, Zucchini Squash, Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Cucumbers, various varieties of Peppers and Green Beans. CIF looks forward to future harvests and the continued success of this program.
