Farming practices must be\u00a0sustainable and the farmers are required to entertain park\u00a0visitors. \u00a0There are currently ten farms in the program and three\u00a0more are to be added this year. \u00a0The land is located between\u00a0Cleveland and Akron, Ohio.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcoexist.com\/3045970\/if-youve-ever-wanted-to-live-in-a-national-park-nows-your-chance?partner=rss\" target=\"_blank\">Fast Company<\/a> quotes Craig Kenkel, superintendent of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, as saying: &#8220;What is so interesting about the program it that it has intersected well with the trends of local farming and fresh foods.\u00a0\u00a0While we were focused on creating this unique program in our park to preserve the valley heritage, we were unknowingly a part of a social movement. One of the values we bring to local foods is that visitors come looking for a national park experience and have the discovery of local farms and fresh foods when they are here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If this program interests you, get all the details at:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cvcountryside.org\/farm-farming-home.htm\">www.cvcountryside.org\/farm-farming-home.htm<\/a><\/p>\n<h1>Please Share<\/h1>\n<p class=\"credit\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Countryside Initiative Program The National Park Service has created a Countryside Initiative program in partnership with\u00a0Cuyahoga Valley Countryside Conservancy. \u00a0The program is designed\u00a0to preserve and protect the rural landscape in Cuyahoga Valley National Park\u00a0by providing farmers with long-term leases in exchange for farming the land. \u00a0Farmers must compete for a lease\u00a0\u00a0of a proposed site\u00a0including providing [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":634,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,2,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-activities","category-featured","category-places-and-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=632"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":636,"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632\/revisions\/636"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/explore.globalcreations.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
