Grow Ohio Valley Urban Farm AmeriCorps
 
 
 
Grow Ohio Valley increases the availability of local produce by growing food on four urban farm sites, including a greenhouse, two high tunnels, an apple orchard, and a large urban garden. We operate a year-round farmer's market and grocery store to provide local producers with a reliable sales outlet. We coordinate a Summer CSA program; sourcing local produce from multiple farms and distributing well-rounded produce boxes to consumers. We help around 30 participants each year create gardens in their homes to teach and help community members grow their own food. Our mission is to empower community members to make food choices that are beneficial for their physical health and the health of the local food economy.
