ABOUT US
Company Profile
Good Life Farms is operated by Darin and Deb and our children Caitlin, Julian, and Josephine. We started selling to the public in
2006 and have expanded our crop size by over 100% each year. Our specialty crop, which is supplied from April through November
each year, is our lettuce mix. We also grow over 30 varieties of vegetables and fruits, and everything is planted and harvested by
hand. Good Life Farms' produce can be found at the Bloomington Farmer's Market, the Carmel Farmer's Market, and the
Indianapolis Farmers Market. We are also proud to have our lettuce blend, along with a variety of other seasonal vegetables and
fruits served at Sycamore Farm Bed & Breakfast / Restaurant in Terre Haute, and Goose the Market, R Bistro, Euphoria, Locally
Grown Gardens, and The Oceanaire in Indianapolis. Good Life Farms also supplies produce to Farm Bloomington restaurant and
Restaurant Tallent, in Bloomington.

About the Growers
Darin has been growing for the past 17 years. He has accumulated a great amount of knowledge over that time through his own
experiences and education, as well as by researching literature, touring farms, and learning from other successful growers. He
has a bachelor's degree in the physical sciences and has completed the course work for a master's degree in the physical
environment (specializing in the relationship between climate and vegetation). Darin has learned how to extend the growing
season for many vegetables, while maintaining the integrity and flavor of the food he grows. He is committed to providing healthy,
safe, and flavorful vegetables to his customers.
Deb has always been interested in gardening and the physical environment. Her own learning experience began in 2004 while
working for a retail nursery in Chicago. In 2005, she had the opportunity to volunteer for Traders Point Creamery, an organic dairy in
Zionsville, Ind. She became fascinated with sustainable growing methods, and has continued to learn about growing first-hand
through her work with Good Life Farms. Deb has a bachelor's degree in English literature. She earned her doctorate of
jurisprudence from Indiana University in 2005. She is an accomplished violinist and sometimes can be found playing Irish folk
music at the markets. After writing for her hometown newspaper, the Terre Haute Tribune Star, for three years, Deb became more
involved in the family business. Currently, she collaborates weekly with the chefs at the various restaurants supplied by Good Life
Farms, and she spends many hours preparing for markets, working in the fields, and continually learning better growing methods.
