The Miami River Foods Project is excited to offer a series of excellent summer courses designed to help you maximize your local foods experience!

Mary Haldeman, a local food expert and sustainable grower from WoodsWalk Orchard & Berries, will teach all classes at her farm in Piqua. The series is open to Beta Club members and friends of the co-op.
