- Planning and Design for a Sustainable Farm
In the Spring of 2008, AMP offered a class in Planning and Design of a Sustainable Farm - Open to undergraduate and graduate students, the class was video linked between Wooster and the Columbus OSU campuses. The Mellinger Farm was the focus for the planning exercise and resulted in team presentations proposing unique enterprise opportunities and innovative designs for the long term sustainability of the historic farm.
