Biokorn-Anbau hautnah: Bauernhoftour und Potluck in Ohio

Walk 500 Organic Acres with Ohio’s Grain Growers Community

Few things ground regenerative agriculture in reality like standing in a working organic grain field alongside the farmers who tend it. This August, the OEFFA Grain Growers Chapter invites growers, learners, and curious minds to do exactly that — and share a meal while they’re at it.

Was dich erwartet

Hosted by Noah and Gary Schlabach at their Plain City, Ohio farm, this gathering opens with a chapter meeting from 10:00 to 11:45 a.m. — a dedicated space for exchanging practical knowledge on organic grain production, processing, and marketing. This is peer-to-peer learning at its most direct: experienced growers talking shop with anyone who shows up ready to listen and contribute.

After a community potluck lunch at noon, the afternoon shifts to the land itself. The farm tour begins at 1:30 p.m., taking attendees through clover fields, working equipment, and the systems behind more than 500 acres of certified organic corn, soybeans, and wheat. This is learning by doing — or at least, learning by seeing, touching, and asking the people who make it work every season.

Warum es wichtig ist

Organic grain production sits at the intersection of food sovereignty, soil health, and ecological farming at scale. For the permaculture community, seeing how 500 acres can be managed without synthetic inputs — and how a regional chapter sustains that knowledge through regular gatherings — is a living demonstration of regenerative systems thinking. The potluck itself is no afterthought: sharing food around shared values is how resilient agricultural communities are built and maintained.
