I love Yellowbird. It's a CSA from Central Ohio that runs year round. They partner with numerous…read morefarms so that they have multiple sources in case any one source has a bad crop/week/season. There are a couple of weeks in the winter where you get a lot of sprouts. So many sprouts and winter squash, but it's local and good quality and more than made up for in the summer when BERRY SEASON! They also offer a cheese share that is just fantastic, and the grocery offers some major brands of organic food/snacks and non-local products, but the boxes are still Ohio based. You can order pickup at major employers in Columbus, pickup at one of their designated pickup locations, or home delivery. I've actually done all three, but am currently on the delivery schedule, for an extra fee, which is a really nice service. I've had some order issues in the past, but if you email the company same day, they're quick to credit your account and fix any issues.

SUCH an underrated service. Do you want groceries delivered to you that are local, ethically…read moresourced, healthy, and not from Amazon Fresh? Yellowbird is a farmbox/csa food option that can make your body happy, your environment healthy, and support local small businesses. You can choose your size of box and frequency, pick it up in one of 12 locations OR have it delivered to your door. The produce boxes have between 5-8 of random seasonal veggies for the mini size. In addition to your mystery produce, you can add from their local stock which includes eggs, tea, honey, dairy, and more. The farm box is a perfect social distancing option, and a great way to learn new foods for adventurous or beginning cooks! They also allow for certain dietary restrictions; you can note that you are gluten free for example.

This is a Hollywood movie come true!…read more The Sirna's were your typical urban-dwelling family with regular city-type jobs up until a few years ago when they decided to buy a plot of land and move out to the country to start farming. Today, they do a great job encouraging and supporting local farming initiatives while taking their hard-worked goods to weekend markets in Cleveland suburbs like Shaker Heights and South Russell. They also operate their own storefront on their land open during growing season which features their own goods as well as stuff from local farms and wineries (cheese, sausages, canned goods, wines, etc.) - again, supporting the local farmers and businesses. One story I always tell people is on one weekend I was desperate for some dill as I had a bunch of baby cuckes at home ready to be pickled. She ran out of the store and came back from the fields a few minutes later handing me this gigantic bouquet of dill weed for about $2. Now I only needed a few sprigs for the pickles but boy the house smelled great for a week! We participated in their CSA one year - a way of buying a share in the farmers' operation. For an up-front lump sum fee, your share nets you a weekly bag of whatever the crops yield that week. This goes on for several months while crops can be harvested. While you don't usually get a choice of what you'll receive (it's whatever is ripening that week!), every bag has an abundance of food. This is perfect for the family that has flexibility in preparing and eating a variety of vegetables from week to week. We received throughout the growing season (not in just one week) corn, potatoes, tomatoes, green beans, radishes, zucchini, butternut squash, yellow squash, kohlrabi, onions, and much more. On weeks which were light on crops, especially in the beginning, Sirna's substituted freshly-ground peanut butter and local honey. Sirna's also does a Fall festival open house with hay rides for the kids. Located along 44 about 2 miles south of 422, Sirna's is definitely worth your while to stop by here one of your summer/fall weekends and support your local farmers.
