Grow Ohio Valley
Catherine Schnur's Company Details
Grow Ohio Valley is improving access to fresh, locally grown food in the Ohio Valley while creating a strong food-based economy. We operate five production sites, including an urban apple orchard, two high tunnel greenhouses, and a geothermal hothouse. Produce grown at these sites is combined with produce from local farms and loaded onto our mobile farmers market. The market brings fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and honey to food deserts - areas which have limited access to fresh foods. Complementary educational programs teach community members gardening skills, how to prepare healthy meals, and the importance of eating fresh produce. With these efforts, we hope to fashion a new economic landscape, one offering increased prosperity, improved health, and a better environment.
