Northeast Ohio Ag Innovation Center

At the Northeast Ohio Ag Innovation Center (NEO-AIC), we offer a variety of business development services to farmers throughout the region who want to add or expand their production of value-added food, fiber, or fuel products.

Our team works with each client individually to assess their specific needs, connect to support services, navigate regulations, develop business plans, and examine financing options. We can also make connections with processors, markets, and distribution outlets throughout the region or identify new products and opportunities for farms.  

In addition to providing technical assistance, we take into account your entire farm business with a holistic approach ensuring that your business growth compliments your personal needs and goals.  When your business and personal lives align, it increases the likelihood of achieving profitability, life satisfaction, and long-term success!

Thanks to support from USDA Rural Development, Ohio State University Extension, and The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, our services are free of charge to Northeast Ohio farms.
