Who are we
The Cuyahoga Valley Countryside Conservancy (CVCC) is a small nonprofit serving the Cuyahoga Valley in Ohio (and beyond). We are a group of individuals dedicated to supporting area farms, promoting sustainable agriculture, educating the public about sustainable practices, and connecting our community with healthy, local food.
Born out of the initial past · Continue on History
What the Countryside program was born out of
Originally created to support the Countryside Initiative, Cuyahoga Valley National Parks' program to rehabilitate farmland within the park, the CVCC continues to support the Initiative farms and has begun expanding it's support to include other local farms, farmers, and farmers markets.
Your Donations Will Be Used To:
Support infrastructure projects for farms both within the National Park and surrounding areas.
Provide grants to local farms and farmers emphasizing sustainable agriculture and education.
Connect local people to healthy food and a supportive community.
