It's that time of year again!  Come visit at our spring open greenhouse tours at RainFresh Harvests on Saturday, May 17th between 1 pm - 3 pm.  You are invited to check out how we are using renewable energy to grow crops year-round at our greenhouses and get answers to your questions -- no charge, it's all free.

This spring marks 9 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.  Come see the latest version of in-ground aquaponic fish tanks.

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 Produce Sections, in Dublin and Upper Arlington, also in the Prepared Foods area in Dublin), Luna Burger,  the Greener Grocer, J. Liu (2 locations, in Dublin and Worthington), Made From Scratch, Rigsby's, Tucci's, Otterbein College, 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/>

Please feel free to share this invitation with others that may want to visit our facility.



Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday the 17th,
The Adlers
