This is a great place to visit.  Barry Adler was one of the first in Ohio to experiment with aquaponics.  His renewable energy practice is a great model to replicate.

It's that time of year again!  You're invited to stop by for our fall open greenhouse tour at RainFresh Harvests on Saturday, October 5th. We will be having informal tours, between 1 to 4 pm and will be available to answer your questions -- no charge, it's all free.

This fall marks over 8 years of operation of the renewable energy systems.



See how Clean Energy is helping to grow crops year-round, off-the-grid, in a biointegrated greenhouse that is powered by renewable energy.

You will be able to see solar photovoltaic panels (2.1 kW) and a wind turbine (1.0 kW) produce electricity, as well as a solar thermal system for heating. Also featured are aquaponics, worm composting and other sustainable agriculture practices.

Thanks to all of the support by customers that are asking for fresh locally grown food, and to the grocers and chefs that make the effort to buy locally.

Our partners in getting our harvests to you this past season included: Northstar Cafe Restaurants (3 of their 4 locations, including the Cafes at the Short North and Beechwold, and Third and Hollywood), Whole Foods (2 locations, in Dublin and Upper Arlington, now also in the Prepared Foods area in Dublin), Otterbein University (Bon Apetit), Tucci's, Luna Burger,  the Greener Grocer, J. Liu (2 locations, in Dublin and Worthington), Made From Scratch, Rigsby's, Tasi Cafe, Little Eater and Darista Cafe .



Since parking is limited, if possible, please car pool. Directions and more information may be found on our website www.rainfreshharvests.com<http://www.rainfreshharvests.com/>

This open house is being held in coordination with the 2013 Green Energy Ohio Tour which is also free and open to the public with renewable energy and energy efficiency sites located all around the state of Ohio over 4 days from October 3 - 6.
