The Lavender Project is a creative partnership that aims to celebrate the stories of women and LGBTQ+ farmers of color through digital storytelling, public mural projects, and community events that connect art and culture with food, seeds, and farming. You're invited to attend The Lavender Project's two-day agriCULTURE Fall Fest, which roots itself in the heart of Dayton, with two evenings of culture, community, and celebration. Night One — Sunset Stories at The Neon On Thursday, October 2nd, the festival opens at The Neon Theater with a special screening of Farming While Black at 7:30 PM (tickets $7). Guests arrive early at 6:30 PM for an art show and seed social, where they engage with original agricultural photography and take home free seed packets. ?? Tickets available here: neonmovies.com/movie/farming-while-black Night Two — Moonlight Markets in St. Anne’s Hill On Friday, October 3rd, the celebration continues in St. Anne’s Hill with a Night Market from 6–9 PM at Fifth Street Brewpub. The market features local farmers, artisans, food, and drink, creating a lively open-air gathering space. The night also includes the Hall Hunger Initiative’s closing ceremony for their “Eat Fresh, Buy Local” campaign, grounding the festivities in community health and sustainability. Fifth Street Brewpub will be offering a craft beer made with locally grown lavender from Mission of Mary, with a portion of proceeds going to support this campaign, and a new monthly special of vegan crab cakes made with Lion's Mane mushrooms locally sourced from Guided by Mushrooms. |

The Blue Owl is really two unique, but complementary, farming operations that fit nicely into the cycle of seasons: a small herb farm that produces culinary and crafting herbs, and heirloom fruits, flowers, and vegetables for sale at local markets; plus a 130-acre tree farm focused on log-grown culinary mushrooms, native nuts and berries, and a variety of woody crafting materials. We will focus our farmer exchange on forest farming and especially on mushroom production. Blue Owl owner Janell Baran and Andy Gedeon of Soul Shine Earth will discuss their current study to compare the costs and benefits of raising mushroom spawn on-farm vs. purchasing commercially available spawn. Register at forms.gle/aigtw5mWyZfqqV5z8.

This free one-day event, held by the OSU Urban Ag Team in cooperation with the Cleveland Farm Service Agency, will bring together urban farmers, community leaders, and agriculture professionals to share practical knowledge, innovative resources, and local success stories to support urban agriculture in Cleveland and beyond. If you are new to urban agriculture, this is a great opportunity to connect with the local urban ag network. Throughout the event, our keynote and invited speakers will present on five key topics of urban farming, including the path to a successful urban farm, high tunnel production, integrated pest management, marketing, and business management. A panel of experienced urban farmers will share their practical strategies in overcoming challenges in urban farming during the lunch and learn session. Representatives from local and state organizations will exhibit resources and services provided specifically for urban producers. Attendance is free and lunch will be provided with registration.
