The Dayton Convention Center, an ASM Global managed facility is the region’s premiere event venue, located in beautiful downtown Dayton, Ohio.
Last week, DCC staff got their hands dirty at The Foodbank, Inc. Greenehouse! 🌱 We learned about their hydroponic system, urban garden, and composting programs, and helped harvest one of the 14 kinds of lettuce grown on-site. Nothing beats the office fluorescent lighting like a day in the sunshine, supporting a community resource! We look forward to next time!☀️🌿

Excited to share our latest sustainability effort showcasing our partnership with Minnick Family Farm!
Each month, an average of 100 lbs. of food scraps and food waste from the DCC is donated to Minnick Family Farm, and used to feed their animals. Less waste + Fat, happy pigs. We’d say that’s a win-win! 🐷 🚜 💚
•
Check out the recap from our day trip to Jamestown, Ohio, where we took a tour of the farm and learned more about sustainable farming practices. We also couldn’t resist feeding the cows and chasing ALL the sheep… Can you blame us?
