OEFFA Innovative Farmers of Ohio Farm Tour: Stratford Ecological Center

Stratford Ecological Center (SEC) is a teaching, working organic farm, just south of the city of Delaware. Besides the many programs for children, there are walking trails through thick woods, a high tunnel, a straw shed, several raised beds of vegetables, a sugar shack, and pastures with cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs. There is also a barn and educational center. Guests are invited to bring a bag lunch which will be supplemented with a large community salad. Wagon rides will be offered around the farm with guidance from Jeff Dickinson, farm manager and director.
