Ash & Elm Cider Company
Started in the summer of 2014, Ash & Elm Cider Company moved into its first permanent home located on the near-eastside of Indianapolis in 2016. Ash & Elm strives to make quality ciders using apples from around the Midwest and help cultivate the market for craft cider in Indianapolis. The husband and wife owners, Aaron and Andrea Homoya, are passionate about connecting with local orchardists and farmers, both to keep the freshest ingredients in our cider and to support local small businesses.
FGN Fitness
Owning her own space for a gym was Tiffany Wheatley’s life dream for 28 years. The Build Fund helped do just that so she could acquire and rehabilitate her site on Bates Street in Fountain Square. FGN Fitness is 100% woman-owned, offering weekly boot camps and personal training. Tiffany hopes to eventually offer much more; from sports-specific training to working with kids and the obesity problem in Indianapolis.
