Experience
Please describe your past and/or present farming experience:
I have worked on diversified vegetable farms and orchards all over the country (North Carolina, Upstate New York, and Southwest Colorado), and came back home to Cincinnati with the intent to find a place of my own to farm. I currently work at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden where I work with ornamental annuals and perennials, creating healthy pollinator habitats.
I am currently growing on a patchwork of plots throughout Cincinnati, but I would love to have a centralized location where I could continue growing vegetables, and add in berry production, and well as establish a nursery for perennial edible plants.
