 My name is Chris Schmiel, and I work here at Integration Acres in Albany, Ohio, and I've had four different SARE projects over the years, and SARE has been a great opportunity for us to innovate and incorporate a little bit of research into a crazy idea and to turn a crazy idea into something that's, you know, successful. And we've worked with paw paws, black walnut holes, and fermented foods, and we've really enjoyed the easy process for filling out a SARE application, you know, and having the opportunity to write the reports has been a great way to, you know, synthesize what we've learned through our project. Farming here in Ohio, where I live is in the hill country, so it's a little different. Most people may think of Ohio being lots of corn and soybeans, but down here in the Appalachian foothills, you know, we have a different type of farming that we do. A lot of pasture management, and then for us, our native, you know, plants are trees, so by focusing on these native plants, you know, they're not your typical crops, and so we kind of start falling into the specialty crop category right away. We've tried to have an integrated approach to our farming, and SARE very much supports that, I believe. They also, I think, in their guidelines for these projects, look at a lot of value-adding, and that's why the fermented food project, I think, was a successful grant application. And then, you know, I think for us, like, communicating what we've learned through our SARE project has been, I think, a pretty successful way to help expand our markets and expand our networks. So when we have a little pamphlet that we come up with through our SARE project, we're able to use that as a kind of like a calling card for what we've learned in our business and SARE.
