This tour is Expanding Urban Farm Along High Street Corridor at Harriet Gardens (42 W. Jenkins Ave, Columbus, OH 43207).
Harriet Gardens is an urban farm in Merion Village which grows high quality fresh vegetables and herbs on a formerly overgrown ½ acre plot of land along the High Street corridor. The farm was started in the summer of 2016 and sells produce to area restaurants and at the North Market Farmers Market. In 2018 the farm will be expanding in size and will also add a high tunnel for season extension. The farm will also expand its marketing efforts to include the Bexley and Clintonville Farmers Markets. The farm uses no synthetic pesticides and focuses on building soil health by adding nutrient rich compost. Pest control strategies include the use of row covers and beneficial insects.
