SUMMARY:OEFFA Lake Effect Chapter: Farm Tour and Potluck
DESCRIPTION:Join a farm tour and potluck with OEFFA’s Lake Effect Chapter at A’s and O’s Farm in Mentor\, Ohio! \nThis year’s tour will be at the farm’s “home” field instead of its Lake Shore Blvd. field. This will allow everyone to join a potluck lunch right after the tour\, so please bring a dish to share. The farm tour will run from 10 a.m. to noon\, with the potluck happening from noon to 2 p.m. \nThe home field features a 16 x 44 foot polyhouse\, solar water pumping\, an 8000-watt solar array for the home\, a small no-till vegetable garden\, a small blueberry bush field (they sell the bushes\, not the fruit!)\, and their signature crop: pawpaw trees! Built into the back of the garage\, the farm has a small organic food co-op that sells organic food from three sources: local organic farms when available\, bulk organic produce from the Cleveland Food terminal\, and a buying club that purchases bulk grains\, seeds\, fruits\, and dry goods every month. \nThey will demonstrate planting and tree digging techniques\, and hopefully you will have some of your own experiences\, methods\, and thoughts on small-scale agriculture to share with everyone. \nThis event is happening rain or shine on Saturday\, April 25 at 5947 Hopkins Rd.\, Mentor\, OH\, 44060. \nContact Tom Rapini at (440) 257-2673 (landline) or tomrapini@gmail.com with questions.
