Stephanie Strothmann, owner of Purple Shamrock Farm in Reddington, received a $1,000 grant from the Indiana Farm Bureau for woman-owned agricultural small businesses to update labels for her farm products, the Seymour Tribune reported Sept. 29, 2026. Strothmann is one of 10 businesses across Indiana awarded the grant.
Strothmann turned spent brewing mash from Seymour Brewing Co. into her primary product — baked and dehydrated dog treats — and sells them at the Seymour and Columbus farmers markets and other vendor events. Purple Shamrock Farm began in 2016 and is a five-acre operation that also produces chickens, eggs and honey.
