The Our Harvest Research and Education Institute (OHREI) works to increase<br />
vegetable crop acreage in the Cincinnati tri-state area by working directly<br />
with farmers. Sustainable growing methods and practices are stressed.<br />
OHREI coordinates an apprentice training program for farm staff, overseeing<br />
a 4,000 hour on-the-job training and over 288 hours of formal education.<br />
OHREI works with mentor farmers, who place their employees in the<br />
program, investing in the employee’s and the farm’s growth. OHREI farm<br />
consultants teach on-farm workshops and consult one-on-one with farmers.<br />
They also partner with Cincinnati State Community and Technical College’s<br />
Sustainable Agriculture Management Certificate program.<br />

Earth-Shares CSA’s mission is to provide members with fresh, organic vegetables<br />
produced by their farmers. They distribute healthy food through their community<br />
supported agriculture (CSA) program, a self-serve produce stand, and at the<br />
Loveland Farmers Market. Earth-Shares CSA started 10 years ago and leases<br />
long-time certified organic land from Grailville Farm.<br />
