Happy Lunar New Year! 🐍

Today and every day, we wish everyone health, happiness, and good food!

Living City Farms is grateful to have participated in the HAPI Fresh Farmers Market this past summer, sponsored by , where residents are able to shop for locally grown and culturally specific produce.

Our area’s multi-cultural heritage, which includes our refugee and immigrant population in Akron’s North Hill neighborhood, are part of what makes Northeast Ohio such a special place to call home.

Celebrating culture through food is a time-honored tradition in the 330: from the jojo to the sauerkraut ball, to momo and pierogi, our area’s foods tell a story about how our diversity has shaped Northeast Ohio’s identity for the better.

May this Year of the Snake be filled with a renewed commitment to foster community, care and protect each other, and regenerate the health of our planet.
🧧🍜🍊🥟🌼🐍

With love,
LCF

✨CSA PARTNER & LOCAL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT✨

This weekend we caught up with one of our 2024 CSA partners for their first monthly, plant-based dining experience!

The event featured live music and lovely conversations around local and plant-based food, and—of course—a fantastic meal. Guests shared what brought each of us to the table, swapped food stories, and got to know each other a bit better while our host showcased his culinary creativity to wow the palates of everyone at the event, meat-eaters included! We can say with confidence that this experience was nourishing in every way. Guests even got to meet and dine alongside featured farmers , while we enjoyed their lion’s mane à la mock crab cakes (as seen in photo above).

Admittedly, it was challenging to “feed the phone” before feasting, but the experience was too good to keep to ourselves! We hope you enjoy these images of our multi-course meal and head over to ‘s account to order your own stash of his signature spice mixes and custom tea blends, try his recipe ideas (like the walnut meat recipe featured in the chili!), and reserve a ticket to next month’s meal. Each monthly menu will feature locally sourced, seasonal offerings and is the perfect way to spend a Sunday evening: you’ll leave feeling fellowship, well-fed, and inspired to add some spice to your homestead.

We’ve got exciting news to share about our upcoming season: our first delivery of seeds arrived this morning!

Ever tried bitter melon? This versatile crop can be served stuffed or stir-fried, and you can adjust the bitterness to suit your own palate. We recommend marinating them in honey and shoyu for 24 hours before frying them up into a delicious stir fry.

Bitter melon is a good source of fiber, vitamin C, folate, and vitamin A. It’s also used to support diabetes management, cancer prevention, and heart health.

We’re so excited to offer bitter melon to you this year!
Stay tuned for more updates on our 2025 season🌱

As we bid farewell to 2024, Living City Farms reflects on a year of growth, community, and purpose. This year, we've expanded some offerings, providing a diverse variety of vegetables and native fruits to our neighbors through farmers’ markets, wholesale opportunities, and our online store.

Our team has worked tirelessly to foster a caring relationship between land, food, and community. We've embraced regenerative farming practices that nourish and heal the land, and strengthen our connection with the natural world.

As we look ahead to 2025, we remain steadfast in our mission to cultivate sustainable, nutrient-rich food for our local community (that’s you! 😄). We are excited to continue this journey, inviting more people back into relationships with food, land, and community.

Thank you for your unwavering support. Wishing you a healthy and prosperous New Year!

Hungry but can’t decide what to eat? Give the food at ‘s fantastic kitchen a try! We stopped by to visit our CSA partner and farm market friend, and thoroughly enjoyed their delicious S.M.O. (Spinach. Mushrooms. Onions) flatbread pizza.

One of the best parts about market season? You get to meet a whole community of such wonderfully kind and talented people. The pizza wasn’t bad either! 🌱🍄🧄

🧄Vampires, beware! 🧄

Thanks to our fantastic student volunteers from , a student agriculture program at Cuyahoga Falls High School, we have completed the first part of our fall garlic planting!

It was great to welcome this group back after their tour a couple weeks ago! This week at the farm, these young farmers tested their skills at garlic planting, cherry tomato harvesting, and even some broad fork racing!

Hope you enjoy seeing the process as much as we enjoyed sharing it with such fantastic visitors this week✨🧄🍅🍁🎃

Coming soon to the farm . . .

more arugula! 🌱

Last week Farmers Rich and Ryan prepared these soil beds for fall planting of this versatile, nutritious crop.

Arugula can grow well in both cold and hot weather. It’s rich in fiber, can tolerate more heat than other salad greens, and it can also survive frost as low as 40°F (4°C)!

As a regenerative farm, planting resilient crops that adapt well to a wider range of temperatures means we are working ~with~ nature to bring you happier, healthier produce.
