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. \nNo RSVP or registration required. The tour will take place rain or shine.

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.

SUMMARY:OEFFA Lake Effect Chapter: Farm Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join a farm tour with OEFFA’s Lake Effect Chapter at the A’s and O’s Farm in Mentor\, Ohio. See examples of no-till mulch farming\, solar water pumping\, deer and rabbit pest protection techniques\, and learn how they (mostly) managed the dozens of human pests surrounding the farm’s 4.5-acre urban lot. \nThe half-acre of organic field production includes asparagus\, snap peas\, beans\, and sweet potatoes\, but mostly is dedicated to fruit producing perennials. The organic asparagus field should be in full production by then so you can pick a meal’s worth to take home\, plus some composted wood chips for your own field or garden. And all will have the opportunity to stick around and do some hands-on planting of seeds or perennials\, so wear your boots and coveralls! \nThe rain date will be April 27. Contact Tom Rapini at (440) 257-2673 or tomrapini@gmail.com or call Valerie Garrett at (440) 231-0842 with questions.

SUMMARY:OEFFA Lake Effect Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join OEFFA’s Lake Effect Chapter for a potluck and presentation! Watch an educational and inspiring slideshow from a past OEFFA Conference workshop that dives into the soil web of life\, powerfully reinforcing your reasons for striving to grow and eat organic. \nThe presentation is about 45 minutes long\, so there will hopefully be time to share thoughts and socialize as well. Please bring a dish to share (or just some organic chips or fruit!) along with a plate and utensils to the potluck.
