Welcome to The George Jones Farm and Nature Preserve!

The George Jones Farm and Nature Preserve is a 70 acre farmstead owned by Oberlin College and operated by the New Agrarian Center (NAC) as a cooperative farm incubator and educational center.

The farm combines production areas for vegetables, fruits, composting, and free-range livestock with efforts to restore natural habitat. We approach the farm from an ecosystem perspective, working to restore topsoil, wetlands, forests, and meadows to create a truly sustainable food web that feeds people as well as wild plants and animals.

The Jones Farm includes a variety of sustainability applications, from a mobile bio-diesel processor powered by spare bike parts, an timber-frame office built with a strawbale and earth plaster wall system, and six experimental wetlands to better understand how farming and restoring biodiversity can be more compatible.

The Jones Farm offers a central gathering place for youth, college students, community members, and participants from Northeast Ohio as well as a place to work, learn, and have fun.

The Jones Farm is one of the suppliers of the City Fresh program and also works to facilitate connections between farmers and consumers.
