Multi-Urban Farm Tour
June 21 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
The North End Community Improvement Collaborative (NECIC) has two large urban farms located within city limits in Mansfield. The NECIC offers a popular farmers’ market, hosts middle and high school school field trips, helps with grant research, and provides hands-on apprenticeship and community engagement. They are a part of the Mansfield Microfarm Project, a community-university collaborative to create economic development through sustainable microfarming (small-plot, high-intensity organic agriculture) in post-industrial urban spaces. Their main objective is to establish a sustainable community-based training program for aspiring beginning farmers.
This tour will visit two sites: NECIC Urban Farm (first site) 311 Bowman St., Mansfield, OH 44903 and NECIC RiCi Urban Agricultural Site (second site) 1155 S Olivesburg Rd., Mansfield, OH 44905. Folks will be on site to help with parking and to direct toward the second farm site.
