The Procter Center Farm's current focus is opening up a farm-to-table storefront in a rural food desert in historical downtown London. In addition to the store, they are leading the charge for a downtown Wednesday farmer's market in an effort to bring access to fresh, local foods to residents and visitors. They are partnering with other local producers and shifting their production focus to best accomodate these new market outlets and ensure a variety of goods can be experienced at their locations. They have hired a full-time business development position to assist with the marketing and administration of these ventures. Learn about what it takes to open a store, start a farm market, and still balance maintaining the farm.

This research and education site tour will focus on: methods of making compost specifically for organic growing in containers and raised beds, growing vegetables and herbs in containers and raised beds, and making vermicompost for fertility and microbiology.
Limited access to healthy soil and affordable growing media approved for organic use in containers and raised beds restricts gardening and farming in urban environments. Fortunately, readily available wood chips, leaves, hay, straw, coffee grounds, and food scraps can be composted to have the aeration, biology, and fertility that make them suitable as a growing medium for organic production. Demonstrations will show you how to make it and grow in it.
Vermicompost is valued for nutrients and biology useful for soil health and crop protection. MSU has been successfully producing 15-20 cubic yards of vermicompost in a high tunnel for the last five years; they'll demonstrate their simple method that does not require screening out the worms.
Registration: To register for this free workshop, go to www.moffa.net/ft-registration.html or leave a message at (248) 262-6826.

OEFFA has been around for 40 years. That's amazing, when you think about it. Forty years of grassroots engagement from farmers, homesteaders, gardeners, activists, and lovers of food building a better way to eat together deserves a hearty cheer. From early meetings in living rooms, to a church basement, to housing more than 30(!) staff in our very own building, we've come a long way together and we are far from finished. So, let's party.
Once again Maplestar Farm and Driftwood Catering are collaborating on a fabulous farm-to-table menu of small plates to showcase a diversity of Ohio flavors. Farmers Jake and Dawn Trethewey will lead guided tours of the farm, and guests will enjoy little bites of summer in the field and at the table, along with Great Lakes Beer and Wente Vineyards wine.

Post-production, downstream processing, and milling will be discussed. John Edgerton will present results from the small grain trials (including dryland rice) he has been conducting for the last few years on his farm in west central Michigan. Michael Adsit of Plymouth Orchards and Jim Koan of Almar Orchards will discuss their short- and long-term experiences in organic apple orchard production.
At 2 p.m. the event will travel about 1.5 miles to Gateway Farm on Joy Rd. where farm manager Ben Kasmenn will guide a tour of the 8 acre certified organic vegetable farm.

Produce is marketed through a community supported agriculture program, farmers' markets, direct-to-restaurant sales, and an on-site farm stand.
At 2:30 p.m., guests can take 30-45 minute wagon tours of the Plymouth Orchards production fields. The main farm has about 50 acres in organic production, including apples, asparagus, raspberries, blackberries, hay, flowers, small grains, and cover crops. During the tour, organic apple growing, small grain production, multi-species cover crops, and cane berry management will be discussed.
During and after the field tours, manager Alicia Estrada will take guests on a tour of the cider mill. Cider pressing, donut production, and dried apple making will be explained. Guests will be able to enjoy the season's first apple cider and fresh donuts. Bottled cider and donuts will be available for sale.

Once a typical farm following the prevailing model of agriculture, Finch Creek Farm has been transformed and revitalized through the organic management of their hay production, rotational grazing of cattle, and broiler production using the chicken tractor model. The entire 300 acre farm was fully transitioned to organic in 2019, and Finch Creek continues to implement regenerative management practices in their quest towards nutrient-dense food. Join this tour to explore the concepts of paramagnetism, mineralization, and soil balancing, and a discussion about the transformative path the farm continues to take.
