  • OEFFA Lake Effect Chapter: 2026 Lake County Fair

    Lake County Fair 1301 Mentor Avenue, Painesville Township, Ohio, United States

    The OEFFA Lake Effect Chapter will be setting up a table at the Lake County Fair from July 28 through August 2. If you would like a free day pass to the fair, consider volunteering to staff the building (basically just babysitting displays in the Natural Resource building) for a 3-hour shift. Help is especially needed on Saturday, August 1 and Sunday, August 2. Please contact Tom Rapini at (440) 257-2673 (landline) if you are interested in helping out.

  • OEFFA Lake Effect Chapter: Urban Homestead Tour

    86 Casement Ave, Painesville, OH 44077 86 Casement Ave, Painesville, OH, United States

    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. A 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. Please plan to park across the street at the cemetery.
