Try out selling at market! Reduce your risk! Sign up for Growhio's vendor assistance program by March 25th: https://secure.jotform.com/form/20432000593.

The program is open to farmers who have not vended at a farmers’ market before and will sell specialty crops (i.e. fruits, vegetables, herbs, honey and maple syrup). Program includes furnished booth space and other resources for getting started!

I just visited a new site for a cleveland heights community garden on North Taylor. They are looking for some enthusiastic volunteers and some donated supplies to get going this spring. Much of the food is grown for donation....anyone willing to help out????

FAIRFAX ELEMENTARY SCHOOL in Cleveland Heights is running a fundraiser selling
large hay bales for only $5!
They usually run around $10 or more this time of year.
So if you want to mulch your winter veg, protect your grass seed, or build a strawbale house now is the time to buy!

The info is available by clicking on the order form link at www.fairfaxpta.org.
Orders are due by end of day this friday,
then pick-up will be at the school on the 20th (unless other arrangements need to be made to accomodate anyone).
If interested, people can contact me via this address lesliekaplansky@att.net.

I live in an apartment so i don't have a garden. I dehydrate and freeze alot of the produce I get because i eat mostly a plant base diet. I was wondering if anyone on here has any extra produce from their garden they like to get rid of? I could sure use it.

We are starting a new community garden in the Larchmere, Shaker Square, Shaker Heights area. The Larchmere Community Garden will begin taking applications in June. In the meantime volunteers are needed to help build the garden. The garden will have 15-25 individual plots (depending on size) for gardeners as well as community learning plots for children and adults. There will be a communal space for gatherings and mini workshops on organic and sustainable gardening methods and permaculture principles. The plans for next year include a small orchard of dwarf fruit and nut trees, berry bushes and a grape arbor for “community fruit”. Gardeners of all skill levels are welcome. Contact me through the Local Food Cleveland website if you are interested in joining us or just want more information.
