Volunteers are essential to the work we do at Mid-Ohio Farm. This summer, Urmi was one of our regular volunteers at Mid-Ohio Farm at NBC4.

Originally from Bangladesh, Urmi is in Central Ohio with her husband, who is pursuing his Ph.D. at The Ohio State University. With a master’s degree in food science, Urmi especially enjoys being able to volunteer in a field related to her own experience and education.

We couldn’t do this work without dedicated volunteers like Urmi who give their time to support our community and help us achieve our goals. We’re so grateful for people who are willing to give their time to help others.

Thank you, Urmi!

Interested in becoming a regular volunteer at one of our three Mid-Ohio Farm locations — NBC4, Hilltop or Grove City? Email [email protected] to learn more.

At Mid-Ohio Farm, we believe Swiss Chard is one of those veggies that deserves way more hype🌱💚!

It's packed with vitamins A, C, and K, plus antioxidants that help support your immune system and overall health. One of the easiest ways to enjoy Swiss Chard is to sauté it with olive oil, garlic, and a squeeze of lemon for a simple and flavorful side dish.

You can toss it into pasta, soups (it is soup season, after all), or grain bowls for an extra boost of nutrients. Fresh, local, and grown with purpose. Swiss Chard is a win all around!

A day in the life of a Mid-Ohio farm mentee can look like seeding, transplanting, harvesting, crop maintaining, but always learning and growing. From hands-on skill building and problem solving to caring for the soil and working alongside experienced mentors, each task helps build confidence and knowledge that can't be learned from a textbook alone.

For our mentee, Ariana, the work means, "Reconnecting with nature as a whole but also reconnecting with how your food is sourced, the practices that go into it, who is handling your food and distributing it to the communities that really need it and to people who just want to be more knowledgeable about how to grow their own food."

One of her favorite vegetables (pictured in last photo) she was able to grow and experiment with in the mentee plots is Fairytale Eggplant. 🍆

Christmas in July came with a sweet surprise in the garden at headquarters, where watermelons hung from one of our trellises like Christmas ornaments! 🍉🎄

Gardens Coordinator Brenda carefully weaves the watermelon vines through the trellis as they grow, while supportive nets cradle each melon to keep the fruit from weighing down the vines.

This year, Brenda is growing five varieties of watermelons, each weighing between one and three pounds, just the right size for their hanging "ornaments." Our staff even got to taste-test them, and they were every bit as sweet and refreshing as they looked.

Thanks, Brenda, for all you do to help nourish our community with fresh, delicious fruit!

Did you know one of the most important steps in growing garlic happens after it's harvested? 🧄

Garlic is planted in the fall, usually between late October and mid-November, but it's not ready to harvest until the following July.

After harvest, the garlic is hung in a cool, well-ventilated space to cure. This allows the outer layers and foliage to dry, helping lock in the flavor while protecting the bulbs for storage.

Once the garlic has fully cured, it's trimmed, cleaned, and prepared for donation. Properly cured garlic can last up to six months, helping us share locally grown garlic with our neighbors long after harvest season ends.

There was plenty of curiosity at Mid-Ohio Farm as we welcomed The CMN Memorial Garden for their STEM to STEAM camp. From digging in the soil to learning how food grows, kids spent the day exploring, creating, and asking great questions.

We're grateful for partnerships like this that bring people together to create hands-on learning opportunities and help more young people experience the farm in meaningful ways.

Many harvests, much like this week’s, at Mid-Ohio Farm are empowered by helping hands. Our incredible volunteers make it possible to harvest fresh, nutritious produce and bring it to market, helping connect more families with healthy food.

Together, we’re growing more than fruits and vegetables—we’re growing hope, strengthening our community, and supporting Mid-Ohio Food Collective’s mission to end hunger, one harvest at a time.

Thank you to every volunteer who shows up, digs in, and makes a difference.
