US Census 2010 Urban Farm Program Seeks Urban Farmers Findlay Market seeks both apprentice and experienced farmers. We will train apprentice farmers (having less than two years experience) and support skilled farmers (at least two years growing and commercial selling of produce, dairy, or meats). Working together, we will take vacant lots and develop them into lush, green, productive, and income producing farm plots. Farmers will be responsible for all aspects of growing food in the urban core: clearing ground; preparing raised beds; tilling; adding organic soil amendments; irrigating; and planting, cultivating and harvesting vegetables. Participants will write business plans; plan their plots; market and sell their harvest; keep expense and incomes records; analyze and evaluate all aspects of their work; and strive to make a living. Interested in applying? Know someone who needs to apply? Contact Urban Farm Manager Ken Stern at the Corporation for Findlay Market, 513-665-4839, x14 or kstern@findlaymarket.org. Interviews will be in February and chosen participants will jump into planning their 2010 farm plots in March.Super Bowl Parties Begin at Findlay Market

Recipes from Cynthia’s Corner Internet Café Art Exhibit, February, 2010 – Amber Bridges Artist Statement – cos·mo·pol·i·tan As an avid traveller, I first began to just document the places I would travel. I would take a photo of me standing in front of the famous monument, proof I had been there. Then I began to actually want to capture the beauty and aesthetics of each place. I wanted viewers to feel as if they had seen the place with their own eyes as well as travelled there. On my first trip out of the country I was hesitant and a bit scared. Then I fell completely into love with traveling and quickly adapted to each culture. I am very comfortable with going to new places, and the excitement of being somewhere for the first time is exhilarating. I want to bring that exhilaration to life in my artwork.
