About North Central SARE
NCR-SARE offers competitive grants and educational opportunities for producers, scientists, educators, institutions, organizations and others exploring sustainable agriculture in America’s Midwest.
The successful framework created throughout this project will continue with every growing season and forever impact food production in this community. The community has expressed interest in continuing to hold on-farm demonstrations of Mohican and sustainable farming techniques. Our goal is to continue sharing this knowledge as we grow and learn on the farm.
