Mission of Mary Cooperative

The Mission of Mary Cooperative is an urban farming non-profit on the east side of Dayton, Ohio.

The Mission of Mary Cooperative is a 501c3 organization that operates a network of urban farm locations on the eastside of Dayton. We strive to form community in our neighborhood around the food that we grow and the land that we care for. We are committed to participating in a just food system that ensures all are able to access and afford healthy food options. We have been growing and distributin

g healthy, chemical free produce since 2010 and continue to expand our growing operations. We operate a 24 week CSA membership program with a dual price model, a seasonal farm stand, and several youth and adult educational programs seasonally. The evolution of Mission of Mary Cooperative is on-going and we are excited to share this journey with you. Please visit our webpage www.missionofmary.org or e-mail us at [email protected] to get in touch.

Last week, we gathered to move one of the high tunnels at our Lincoln Hill Garden. The main metal framework is set on wheels so it can be rolled along a track (after removing the pieces anchoring it in place). Since our cherry tomatoes had all been removed already and we were about to get a hard freeze, it was time to move the tunnel over a new bed. Now it’s sheltering some carrots and greens that had growing out in the open!

People often ask us what we do during the winter off-season. While we do still have veggies growing, things slow down enough for us to do other needed behind-the-scenes tasks - like catch up on maintenance.

Some of our high tunnels are starting to look like Swiss cheese, so it’s time to replace the covering! This week we cleared out our slicer tomato house, and today we took advantage of the warm weather (and a volunteer group!) to remove the plastic.

Mission of Mary is running a small Fall CSA program this year, and we still have some room. We have lots of delicious veggies still growing that we want to send to a good home - your stomach!

Each box will contain 7-9 locally & organically grown seasonal produce items. Each box costs $29, or $11 for a low-cost option (just let us know your price point - we want to make healthy food accessible!). Each box can be picked up at our headquarters location (619 Silver Ln, Dayton OH 45410) on the following dates: Nov 13 (Wed), Nov 26 (Tue), and Dec 11 (Wed), from 2-6pm. We can also offer limited local delivery; let us know if that’s something you might need in order to participate.

Email us at [email protected] to let us know you’re interested in our Fall CSA or to ask any questions! :)

This week we harvested our garlic patch! We’re using the barn attic to cure the fresh garlic so that it will last longer. The smell in there should be plenty strong enough to ward off any vampires 😅🧛🏼‍♀️
