Does anyone have any idea how many farms are currently growing in Cleveland?  I am putting together a pitch for a Cooperative Forum and thought it would be an interesting statistic.  I am also kind of curious myself.  I know there are 225 Community Gardens, but what about market gardens?

There are three new Facebook groups that you all might be interested in. Join us!

Greater Cleveland Market Gardening Community 

https://www.facebook.com/groups/gcmgc/

GCMGC is for anyone involved in Market Gardening in the Greater Cleveland area. This is a place to share info, ideas, tools, talents, and camaraderie.

North East Ohio Food For Sale

https://www.facebook.com/groups/NEOFoodForSale/

This group has been made for the folks in the Cleveland, Ohio area that have food items that they have made or grown to post for sale. Think of this as your free online Farmers Market.

Rules are simple: Post the food or drink items you personally have either made (cooked, canned, bottled, jarred up, baked) or have grown (veggies, fruits, eggs, honey, meats) that you have to sell. Give a price, location and contact info. And when it sells please delete the post. Easy!!

If there is something you would like to buy but don't see it posted just start your message with Wanted: and the item(s) you are interested in.

Carl at Blue Pike Farm posted about this a couple of weeks ago.          This is a reminder that the registration deadline is Monday, February 4.     There is much information that is new to all but a few gardeners/farmers.  Biological farming methods have advanced to the point of near complete disease and insect resistance.  A healthy plant (one which provides ample exudates for the rhizosphere, complete sucking insect resistant proteins, lipids for airborne resistance, and insect indigestible plant secondary metabolites) should not need ANY pesticides, organic or otherwise.  A diseased or insect eaten plant is showing symptoms of poor health.  Recent understanding of ways to achieve plant health and optimal genetic expression and yields has made this possible.  This is the level of expectation of results from this method.  **Scholarships are still available for growers.**    http://www.localfoodcleveland.org/events/farming-for-optimal-nutrie...
Feb. 10 and Apr. 7, 9:30-4:30, 218 N. Pleasant St., Oberlin.

This program might be of interest to you. I attended the workshop when it was offered in Berlin, OH and found the time and travel invested to be more than worth it. Lots of valuable information,  concepts and practices.

Dan Kittredge of the Bionutrient Food Association, www.bionutrient.org, and the Real Food Campaign, will be presenting a two day workshop titled:  Increasing Quality in the Food Supply.  This course will provide details of Biological Farming methods, which using limited biological and mineral based inputs, and no conventional or organic pesticides, achieve optimized nutrient density, disease and pest resistance, and often multiples of standard yields.

Sunday, February 10, and Sunday April 7, from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM. 

Location:  The Boys and Girls Club, 218 North Pleasant St., Oberlin, Ohio, 44074.

The cost for the two sessions is $150.  **Scholarships are currently available if you are farming.**

Please register by February 4.  Info at:  http://bionutrient.org/workshops

Lunch will be pot luck.  

The course includes a lesson on soil nutrient balancing.  Please bring a copy of your soil test, if you have one.

Hello Urban Growers,

One of my clients is looking for greens for their restaurant - any quality greens: arugula, mesclun mix, romaine ...  I am between crops and am trying to find local sources for them.  They need them this week.  If you have any let me know.  Farmer Jay

Just curious if anyone has gone through process of establishing a yard hydrant on a vacant lot?  I am thinking of doing that on a lot and would love to hear your experience, see if you have a contractor they can recommend, etc.   Thanks!
