Join us at Dodo Farms to learn all about preparing beds and starting seeds! We'll be helping farmers Niyi and Tope start some of their seeds for fall harvest and leave with a tray of seedlings of your own. We'll also do a more general farm tour to learn all about how these awesome farmers got started and continue to grow!

Niyi relocated to the United States of America to join his wife, Tope, an accountant and an agribusiness lecturer and advisor at the University of Maryland. Niyi had been farming on 100 hectares of land in the Southwestern region of Nigeria for 12 years prior to moving to the U.S., and although it seemed impossible, all he wanted to do in his new home was start a farm.
His American Dream of farming began with an internship at Third Way Farms in Havre De Grace Maryland, where he served for 7 months. Then magic happened! Niyi was matched with an amazing couple in Brookeville MD through the Montgomery Countryside Alliance’s landlink program. And Dodo Farms was born…
