Back Yard Maple Syrup Production
Are you someone with a few maple trees and you want to make your own syrup? This class is for you.
Backyard Maple Production will be held Jan. 29th at the Event Center on the Warren County fairgrounds. We will approach this class from the perspective of just a few trees on your property that you want to try to produce some syrup. We will also have the opportunity for you to purchase a few buckets or bags with spiles and other pieces of equipment if you catch the fever and want to go home and get started. There may even be a few maple treats to get your mind thinking about possibilities.
Registration is open here. We hope to see you there!

Pawpaw Day at the 2023 Farm Science Review on September 19!
On Tuesday, September 19, The Gwynne Conservation area is teaming up with the North American Pawpaw Growers Association to bring you a fun-filled day packed with pawpaw talks, walks, demos, and tastings! Events run throughout the day, 10:30am-3:00pm, and will be located at the Gwynne Conservation Area at Farm Science Review.
Are you familiar with Farm Science Review and the Gwynne Conservation Area? The Gwynne is a 67-acre conservation area where conservation demos, talks, displays, and tours are held during Farm Science Review, September 19-21, in London, Ohio. Featuring a pond, wetland, tallgrass prairie, stream, pawpaw orchard, and forage plots, the Gwynne offers a little something for everyone.
Though September 19th is dedicated to Pawpaws, talks on a variety of natural resource topics will be held throughout each of the three days of Farm Science Review. And new to the Gwynne this year, the “Ask a Master Gardener” table will be on site to answer all of your horticultural questions!
