I will be teaching a free class on cover crops in partnership with The Urban Farm Church.   Come to The Urban Farm Church on Wednesday September 10th at 6pm to learn about how you can use cover crops to improve your soil and increase your yield. After a short presentation we will walk outside to the farm for some experiential learning. The class is free but registration is asked for so they know how to plan for snacks!

We will walk out to the farm to check out demonstration plots of multiple cover crop species after the presentation.

IPM and Fall Planting Class at Mid-Ohio Farm at NBC4 on Tuesday August 26th @ 6pm

Did you know there is a multi-acre urban farm behind the NBC4 studios on Olentangy River Rd.?  Have you ever wanted to see what Mid-Ohio Farm at NBC4 looks like in person?  I will be teaching an IPM and Fall Planting class in collaboration with my friends from Mid-Ohio Farm at NBC4 on Tuesday July 15th at 6pm.  We will discuss what you can plant NOW for fall, what is in harvest, and how you can implement late in the season integrated pest management strategies to continue your harvest longer.  Plus you will get a chance to walk around the farm, meet the farmers, learn more about this unique urban farming project, and how it is positively impacting the community.



Check out an overhead view of the farm!  They have fruit trees, high tunnels, lettuce towers, and a community garden for the local residents.

The farm is located at 3165 Olentangy River Rd. Columbus, OH 43202. When arriving: pull up to the front gate and press the call button. Tell them you are heading to the farm. Once through the gate drive to the back of the parking lot and turn left. Drive along the back of the parking lot until you see a gravel drive on your right. Take that gravel drive back to the farm. You can also park in the back of the NBC4 lot and walk back to the farm. 

Check out the registration link below.  The class is free and open to the public but they do ask for registration.  Bring your friends and your questions and hope to see you there!
