Mission Statement
The purpose of Countryside is to connect people, food, and land by inspiring, educating, and promoting a resilient, sustainable food culture. We are a leading expert and innovator in community-based farming and conservation programs working through a unique partnership with Cuyahoga Valley National Park and the park-based farms.
Description
We envision Northeast Ohio filled with thriving farming and food entrepreneurs: where farms are viable businesses, farmland is a treasured resource, and local food is commonplace.
We support up-and-coming farmers, share innovative land-use and business models, facilitate networking opportunities and advocate community-based agriculture.
We connect communities and farmers, through alternate market choices, and create venues that foster civic engagement through fun and informal education.
