2-4 p.m.
Cooke Forest Edibles and Medicinals is a small farm company that currently grows on an acre of wet clay soil at the back of a three acre city lot that makes up part of the head waters for Adena brook. Bethani Turley and Chris Burney started their farm based on ideas about biodiversity and land management that they learned through permaculture, agroforestry, and experienced friends. The garden contains a wide variety of perennial and annual plants in an attempt to mimic the eastern deciduous forest biome. Stop by and see the garden in all of its mid-summer abundance!
