Farm Tours

Warmke Farm's (Annie Warmke farmer) urban food forest project has not only planted up a food forest garden (for propagation stock) on one lot, but is in the process of planting five other properties. This is all on the same small two streets known as Historic Phillips Subdivision, an evolving neighborhood that’s been around since 1896. The tour will begin at Warmke Farm, go on a walk to see neighborhood forest sites, and return to the farm for tea and plant propagation demos. Register for this free tour here. This event is a part of the 2026 OEFFA Farm Tour Series.
