*NEW* Agricultural Programs from the District and our partners
Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) CoursesWe still have Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) online training codes available! The training can be accessed
HERE. The ideal person to take this training is someone who either leads an organization or has worked at an organization for at least one or two seasons. The organization must make produce available to the public through sale or donation.
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!
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.
Additional Urban Ag Workshops
NRCS, OSU Extension, and FSWCD enjoyed our Soil Health Workshops so much we'll be continuing them outside of the NACD grant! Stay tuned for additional workshops...
