Conscientious consumers are looking for food grown locally and in a way that protects and conserves our natural resources. Ohio farmers are meeting this growing demand for wholesome food by adopting sustainable farming practices and developing creative marketing solutions.
Through this tour series, you are invited to get out in the field and see just how it’s done. Each farmer is prepared to share their extensive experience—both successes and failures—with anyone interested in learning more.
Market gardeners, grain and livestock producers, processors, future farmers, educators, and discriminating food lovers are encouraged to attend.
All tours are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted. Events will take place rain or shine.
