Please join us

for a gathering of those who share Ben ’s vision.

Ben Stinner had a clear and compelling vision: agroecosystems that preserve high environmental quality, sustain health and community among farms and neighbors, and do so in concert with nature.

Each year, the attendees at the Stinner Summit will choose a project for the upcoming year.  Last year’s choice was the Leap into Local Foods workshop and launch of the Ohio Local Food Systems Collaborative. On Sept. 19, we will review and acknowledge achievements for the past year and decide on a project for next year with continuing support from the Ben Stinner Endowment. We'll also celebrate with a great meal together, featuring the bounty of Ohio farms.
