We envision Northeast Ohio filled with thriving farming and food entrepreneurs: where farms are viable businesses, farmland is a treasured resource, and local food is commonplace.
We support up-and-coming farmers, share innovative land-use and business models, facilitate networking opportunities and advocate community-based agriculture.
We connect communities and farmers, provide alternate market choices, and create venues that foster civic engagement through fun and informal education.
What's Happening:
