[Sc-aquaponics] Ohio: RainFresh Harvests Spring Open Greenhouses Tour

[Tiu, Laura]

Our summer growing season is coming soon!  You're invited to stop by for our spring open greenhouse tour at RainFresh Harvests on Saturday, May 16th. We will be offering informal tours, between 1 to 4 pm and will be available to answer your questions -- no charge, it's all free.

This spring marks 10 years of operation of the renewable energy systems.


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

Featuring solar photovoltaic panels (2.1 kW) and a wind turbine (1.0 kW) that produce electricity, as well as a solar thermal system for heating.



Also you will be able to see several types of aquaponics systems (including in-ground fish tanks), worm composting and other sustainable agriculture practices.  Come see our latest expansion of the aquaponics growing area.

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 and provide their customers with meals fresh from the farm.

Our partners in getting our harvests to you this past season included: Northstar Cafe Restaurants (2 of their 4 locations, including the Cafes at the Short North and Beechwold, Whole Foods (2 locations, in Dublin and Upper Arlington, including the Prepared Foods area in Dublin), Otterbein University (Bon Apetit), Tucci's, Luna Burger,  J.
