Dayton Urban Farm Tour – July 20

The Ohio sustainable farm tour will have one stop in Dayton at The Urban Renewal Farm (TURF), located at 216 S. Torrence street, on July 20th from 10 am to noon. Participants will learn about a unique project to repurpose an abandoned factory into an urban farm. See how the farm grows tomatoes, peppers, kale, onions, lettuce, carrots, and turnips in raised beds in the parking lot and learn about plans and challenges of converting the factory to a year round growing facility. For more information, contact Jim Wellman at (937) 516-1819 or jwellman1@hotmail.com.
