Regenerative, Year-Round Urban Market Farm Tour

Dayton, OH 

Sunday, September 23, 2018
3:30-6 p.m.

Tour two of the most active farms in Dayton in the same neighborhood! The first stop is Dayton Urban Grown, a training farm that broke ground in September 2016 and features a year-round, no-till, high rotation system for market vegetables and do-it-yourself infrastructure that new farmers can construct, including hoophouses, low tunnels, and perennial hedgerows. They offer a year-long classroom training program to train new market farmers and their wash/pack shed and other equipment are available to course graduates and cooperative members. The tour will continue at Mission of Mary Farm, which operates a network of urban farm sites around inner east Dayton and sells through markets and a community supported agriculture program to neighbors of diverse incomes through a sliding price CSA business model. Join this tour to see their headquarters building, garage, propagation nursery, wash and pack area, apiary, movable hoophouses, and one of their production gardens.

From Rte. 35 in Dayton, take the Keowee/Wayne Ave. exit. Coming from the east, turn left on Keowee St. and left on Xenia Ave. From the west, turn right on Keowee St. and take an immediate left on Xenia Ave. Dayton Urban Grown will be on the left in about 12 blocks.
