What they do
Rid-All Green Partnership is an urban farm and training centre in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. It began in 2011 and today works around 18 acres, roughly half of which are under cultivation.
Recent coverage by Spectrum News shows a place where growing food, learning and enterprise sit side by side: a tree nursery, a compost facility, a commercial fish farm, a restaurant and an indoor produce market all run from the same community effort.
