Four years ago our office learned of a program that was being offered in Franklin County – The Extension Master Urban Farmer Program. It was such a success in Central Ohio, we wondered if we could make it happen in Lucas County.

Locally, the program is a partnership between Ohio State University Extension and Toledo GROWs.
