• Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) Courses: We still have Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) online training codes available! The training can be accessed HERE. This training will help empower you to assess food safety risks, develop a food safety plan, and implement best post-harvest handling practices. While this training does not include official GAP certification or a farm audit, GAP training is required to become GAP certified.

• Free Soil Tests and Interpretation from OSU Extension: We have purchased soil test kits to distribute to local urban farms, community gardens, and conventional producers. Call or stop by the office to get some free tests! If you are interested in soil tests for horticultural or turf grass testing, those can be purchased through OSU Extension.

• Soil Health Workshops: Soil health workshops will be held in the spring (March - May) at OSU Extension - Franklin County's office at the Kunz-Brundige Franklin County Extension Building, 2548 Carmack Rd., Columbus, OH 43210. These workshops will be taught by your friendly county soil health experts with OSU Extension, with support from FSWCD and NRCS. These workshops will also be free, but space will be limited.
