Mid-Ohio Farm

The Mid-Ohio Farm at NBC4 continues to be a valuable resource for our community and a hub for education. This Tuesday, we had the pleasure of hosting 20 children from the Riverview International Center apartments.

The kids got hands-on experience by planting pots, nurturing small plants, and learning about the vital role bees play in our food chain. It was a day of growth, discovery, and fostering a deeper connection to nature. 🌱

This past Friday, NBC4 staff gathered at the Mid-Ohio Farm at NBC4 for Nexstar Media's Founder's Day of Caring.

This annual event commemorates the founding of Nexstar on June 17, 1996, and offers an opportunity for Nexstar employees to give back to their communities.

NBC4 staff, alongside the MOFC Farm team, spent the day building, harvesting lettuce, expanding the vertical farm, and more. All the produce harvested that day was delivered to the Mid-Ohio Market at Norton Road. 🌱

Thank you to NBC4 for your continued support. We're grateful to have you by our side as we strive to foster healthier communities. 🤝

We're excited to share our first harvest from our climate-controlled greenhouse at the Mid-Ohio Farm on the Hilltop! 🥬 This week, Farm Manager Taylor harvested 374 heads of lettuce, weighing in at 44.5 pounds.
