Jorgensen Farms: Community

5851 East Walnut Street Westerville, Ohio 43081

Jorgensen Farm has hosted an outdoor dinner for the Columbus Chapter of the American Culinary Federation every June since 2008. This provides the chefs and culinary students in Central Ohio an opportunity to spend an evening on the farm, and see how local food is grown. Jorgensen Farm is an active member of the Ohio Sheep Improvement Association, and Val is a Lamb Feeder Trustee. Jorgensen Farm hosted an Ohio Lamb Chef Day on May 17, 2011. The event was sponsored by Ohio Lamb Marketing Program, American Lamb Board, Ohio Grape Industries, Ohio Proud, The Ohio State University Extension, and The Ohio State University Animal Sciences Department. It provided chefs throughout Ohio an opportunity to learn how to use the entire lamb in preparing delicious lamb dishes. Lamb and wine tastings were provided. Jorgensen Farm hosted a Girasole (Italian for Sunflower) fundraiser for Slow Food Columbus's Terra Madre delegation, which traveled to Italy in October of 2010.
