Midwestern U.S.

• CUYAHOGA VALLEY NATIONAL PARK (Brecksville, OH): Since 1999, through its Countryside Initiative, the park has offered long-term farm leases to farmers who follow NPS guidelines for sustainable farm management. Nearly 20 small historic farm properties have been leased and in many cases rehabilitated under this program, which also supports marketing opportunities and works to blend farming with the park's interpretation in various ways, including through clips from oral histories on the park website.
• GORMAN HERITAGE FARM (Evendale, OH):  A 120-acre working farm and outdoor education center, which focuses mainly on education but also produces some meat and eggs for sale.  The farm emphasizes manual/agricultural labor as a foundational American value and makes the connection between sustainable small farming and a healthy society. 
• JANE ADDAMS-HULL HOUSE MUSEUM (Chicago, IL):  Keying off the historical social-justice mission of the Hull-House settlement, the present-day museum incorporates various kinds of food programming into its work, including an heirloom seed library, a discussion series called "Rethinking Soup" that invokes the soup kitchen of the past, and a small urban farm.
• OLIVER H. KELLEY FARM (Elk Grove, MN):  Kelley, a transplanted New Englander, agricultural "improver," and founder of the Grange, farmed here in the mid-19th century.  The site is now run as a living history site by the Minnesota Historical Society, but is beginning to expand its interpretation and cultivation of the farm to encompass agricultural history more generally.  Watch for big changes here over the next few years. The OKH Grange (named for Oliver H. Kelley) is an innovative Grange chapter founded by mostly urban and educational farmers and interpreters in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.
• MALABAR FARM STATE PARK (Lucas, OH): Founded in 1939 by novelist, screenwriter, and agricultural reformer Louis Bromfield, the farm is still a working farm as well as a state park and educational center with an on-site restaurant serving the farm's own products.
• TILLERS INTERNATIONAL (Scotts, MI): Teaches low-tech, low-input, "appropriate technology" farming methods both internationally and on its 430-acre farm. Promotes the use of draft animals, grass fodders, and low-impact forestry. Currently constructing a museum to house its collections of historic farm objects, which it uses in its "Re-Invention Lab."
