OEFFA launches annual series of farm tours and workshops

The Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA) and partners invite you to explore farms and farming this summer during the 2024 Farm Tour and Workshop Series.
 
OEFFA’s annual series of public tours and workshops encompasses 24 events, featuring organic and ecological farms in Ohio and Michigan, plus a number of educational workshops. This programming opens the door for farmers, gardeners, educators and consumers to learn about local foods and farming first hand.
 
Participants will have the opportunity to walk through farm fields, garden beds, livestock pastures and more during 10 OEFFA farm tours. And 14 educational workshops and special events will take participants through the organic certification process, farm employment law, farmland access and more.

In addition to OEFFA, other farm tours, events and programs are being presented by Central State University Extension, Common Greens, FairShare CSA Coalition and The Ohio State University.
 
All events are free and open to the public unless otherwise indicated. To see the full schedule, descriptions, and to sign up, visit oeffa.org/farmtours.

Founded in 1979, OEFFA cultivates a future in which sustainable and organic farmers thrive, local food nourishes our communities, and agricultural practices protect and enhance our environment through a number of programs. Stay connected with OEFFA and its ongoing work at oeffa.org.
