Foundation
Magic House Farms from founded in July of 2016 by Joseph Wolfle Jr. with the intention to turn vacant lots in Western Franklinton into lush community resources of fresh produce and agricultural education. The organization started with one privately owned lot located at 128 N Yale Ave. in the Fall of 2016 growing on just a small 900 square foot area of tilled land where a house once sat, a small greenhouse was erected and an insect themed sculpture titled “The Anticorn” was installed. With community support, Magic House Farms expanded onto two adjacent vacant City Land Bank lots in the Winter of 2016/17. In the Spring of 2017, members of the farm began working with surrounding neighbors to break ground on the recently acquired Land Bank lots. Eight “Community Garden” raised beds were installed and community members eagerly become representatives of their own households with in the gardens growing food to take home to their families. Throughout the 2017 growing season, Magic House Farms worked to plant over a dozen fruit trees, perineal berries, a Little Free Library and a bicycle parking rack. In the Fall of 2018 a plan to develop a garden entranceway was initiated which is at the fund raising for materials and construction costs currently.
