SUMMARY:Farm Tour & Workshop: Sugar Butte Farms
DESCRIPTION:Learn from a diversified meat business about pastured-raised livestock with a specific focus on how to raise broiler chickens! \n\n\n\n\nCurious about how to raise pastured meats? Interested in the ins and outs of raising broiler chickens on pasture? \nSugar Butte Farms is owned and operated by Eric\, Kayla\, & Will Gibson. It sits in Lowell\, Ohio on 80 acres full of diverse biology and greenery. They raise chicken\, pork\, turkey\, and lamb – as well as producing value-added products like freeze dried pet treats and skin care products. \nThis event will include both a farm tour and dedicated time learning about their broiler chicken operation. \nSugar Butte chickens are fed Ohio grown & milled non-GMO feed and moved on green pasture every day. They use two techniques: day ranging and chicken tractors. \nTake home gift: All attendees will go home with a product made on the farm! \nRain plan: This event will continue if there is light rain\, so come prepared with rain gear. If weather is severe\, we will cancel and refund your ticket. \nParking & directions: A GPS can take you up a back way (Cats Creek) which is a little confusing. Look for Rural Action signs and someone directing you to parking. \n\nComing from Route 60? Take Route 60 into Lowell. Once you reach the single stoplight in Lowell\, turn right on to Walnut Street (AKA Route 530). Make another right on to the actual State Route 530. Continue taking 530 for 3.9 miles. Our road is on the LEFT hand side. It is just under 1 mile out that road. Green house.\nComing from I-77? I-77 North then take exit 6 and make a right at the stop sign. You will be on 821 for just a few seconds and after the BP gas station/subway you make a left in Highland Ridge Road towards the Blue Tractors. This road is curvy and cross the interstate several times. You will eventually reach a stop sign with a brick house and a pool located behind it. You can follow GPS now. Go straight through that intersection. The road will curve to the left where you will go through an underpass. You may be tempted to continue straight but make that left down the hill. You will begin to go back up the hill then at the top of the steep part it makes a sharp right then you will see ponies and a donkey along with ponds on your left. Now slow down because our gravel road is in the next right turn. It is just under 1 mile out that road.\n\nPlease note: Attendees will be walking across uneven terrain and on their feet for much of this event. \nThis event is supported by a grant from the Renewable Natural Resources Foundation (RNRF). \nFor any questions\, please reach out to Molly Sowash at molly@ruralaction.org.

SUMMARY:Agrivoltaics: Solar and Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:This event has been canceled.  \nMadison Fields Solar Project (MFSP) has become one of the first operating utility-scale solar sites to intentionally integrate forage crop production. This site includes actively testing and growing forage crops\, including hay and alfalfa\, along with soil health\, precision agriculture\, and complementary grazing between the rows of solar panels. Over the next 35-40 years\, MFSP is expected to produce enough energy to power approximately 38\,000 Ohio homes annually. The Ohio State University is involved in research at the site\, being one of the few to receive a U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Department of Agriculture FARMS (Foundational Agrivoltaic Research for Megawatt Scale) grant to conduct that research. \nPre-registration is required for this tour. Register for this free tour here. Exact location details will be emailed to registered participants. \nThis event is a part of the 2026 OEFFA Farm Tour Series. It is held in partnership with Farm-To-Power\, Savion Renewable Energy\, and The Ohio State University Extension. \n

SUMMARY:OEFFA Lake Effect Chapter: Urban Homestead Tour
DESCRIPTION:What can you accomplish on just half an acre? Join OEFFA’s Lake Effect Chapter on a tour of this compact homestead that proves that small scale doesn’t mean small impact\, weaving together pollinator beds\, vegetable gardens\, and a dedicated fruit production area\, with herbs tucked in throughout the landscape. \nA small flock of chickens rounds out the homestead\, contributing to both food production and closed-loop fertility. With 950 gallons of water storage on site for irrigation and solar-powered drip irrigation currently in development\, this homestead is a working example of resilient\, resource-conscious design. Visitors will see firsthand how a small land holding can adapt quickly to a changing climate\, offering practical\, scalable ideas for anyone looking to grow more with less space. \nPlease plan to park across the street at the cemetery.

SUMMARY:20th Annual Stinner Summit
DESCRIPTION:Whether from dwindling supplies\, international turmoil\, or regulations\, we can expect fossil fuel prices to remain turbulent and high—along with the many basic farm inputs derived from petroleum. Farm operators have no choice but to absorb these price increases. Or do they? \nThe Ohio State University’s Agroecosystem Management Program (AMP) invites farmers\, policy makers\, educators\, food processors and distributors\, researchers\, and non-profits to join us for an all-day event on September 18. At the 20th annual Stinner Summit\, attendees will brainstorm\, discuss\, and prioritize projects that could reduce our farming systems’ dependence on fossil fuel-based inputs. The Summit process invites people from different backgrounds to share their ideas and experiences. \nFarmers and others are responding to high fuel and input prices in many ways – including agroecological and regenerative approaches that reduce the need for inputs\, alternative fuels and energy sources\, and more energy efficient local food supply chains. Together we will discuss the pros and cons of strategies and projects that can be supported by the Stinner endowment. \nThe event is free but pre-registration will be required. More information will be available at amp.osu.edu/collaboration/annual-stinner-summit.
