This project transforms an inactive grain silo in downtown Elnora, Indiana into a vertical farming facility and community hub, addressing the town’s limited food access - currently served only by a Dollar General store. The design integrates year-round hydroponic growing systems within the historic structure, providing fresh produce while creating vibrant outdoor spaces for community gardens, local food vendors, and public gathering.
