They also do CSA if you're interested in produce purchasing and just prepared themselves for products in the wintertime with a new greenhouse! Come check this place out and avoid the crazy crowded places, or contact them to join the CSA!

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.

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.

Looks like more needs to be said about this powerhouse in local food! We are in our 3rd year of…read moreboth summer and winter subscriptions. Just signed up for another summer! Much has staid the same since the previous reviews... great weekly newsletter/ online store / bag process for 22 weeks in the summer... and a kind of wonky but refreshing winter subscription... summer starts in June and runs through october... winter picks right up but is only weekly to Turkey day and then changes to every other week. Shopping the online store is like having a farmer's market at your finger tips! Every week they also bring items to the stops for grab and go purchase... but if you really want milk and eggs... order online! They can sell out at the truck. This winter we tried the new Carnivore subscription... over the season smeveryone gets the same cow / pig / poultry and value add (lard, stock, deli meat, sausage, bones) but there is less flexibility... you need to go to the same stop each week. No dietary substitutions... everyone gets pork for example. The only downside to the omnivore winter subscription is the cabbage... lots and lots of cabbage... sauerkraut... more basketball size cabbages... so the carnivore is a nice change while still having access to the store and avoiding out of state protein. They post the newsletters and photos of the weekly bags online and have an epic treasure troce of recipes!

I'd say an update is due, considering how much I talk about FFM on a daily basis!…read more The Winter Share is off the chain--if you're even considering it, do it. I'm a regular Summer Share member (2yrs running) and it's my favorite. However, last year I didn't do the Winter one and this year I did--holy crap was I missing out. Totally worth the price. You pick up weekly bags in the beginning and then switch to once every other week as the cold months kick in. You get tons of winter veggies, greens and then you'll start getting freshly frozen, long-lasting items that store well. Lots of root veg, cheeses, jars of pickled goodness, grains, dried beans (not like those ones you get at the store, trust), pastas and lots and lots of meat! Oh--and if you haven't tried their Thanksgiving Bags, please do so this year. You won't be disappointed.

I have been patronizing this place for a few years, from plants in the Spring-time, to wonderful Tomatoes and Okra in Summer, as well as Pumpkins, and Winter Squash in the Fall and practically everything in-between. Sometimes they have someone at the stand to help you, and sometimes they just have a self-serve system. Nice little place with great food and flowers . . . Cheers!

This service should really take into account the people who live here, and not just cater to the rich. It is simply untrue that you have to pay prices like this to feed your family well, and it's also a very classist and false assumption (on the part of some) that "poor people" do not care about their health. There are many people here that could use grocery delivery, such as elders and folks with limited mobility. It is sad that this service is out of reach for many of us.

This is a review of the Geauga Family Farms CSA program. At the beginning of the summer, you pay…read moreone price for a small, medium or large share, add any extras, and then for the next 20 weeks you pick up a box of assorted organic produce at one of a dozen locations. They have quite a few locations, at various times during the week and spread throughout greater Cleveland. Some of the extras include meat, eggs, bread and jam. Bulk veggies (for canning) are also available upon request. At the onset, the amount of veggies is a little light with little variety ( so much lettuce!) But by mid-summer we were receiving watermelon, peppers, bok choy, garlic, potatoes, eggplant, strawberries, many varieties of tomatoes, herbs, onions, carrots, garlic scapes, cantaloupe and much more. These are organic veggies, and I knew they wouldn't be perfect (I grew up eating almost exclusively homegrown veggies) but I did expect higher quality. You really need to have a plan for the veggies, either very flexible meal plans or a large freezer and some time. I love eat peak of summer veggies in the middle of a dreary January. You also have to be fairly open minded when you receive something you've never seen. This was the fun part, because it was kind of a surprise every week. However, we have also been surprised in a bad way. We were warned that some worms had gotten into the corn, but they included it anyway. The sight of wormy holes in the corn is just a turnoff. Most of the lettuce has little slugs all over it, and even after washing several times they held on tight, so we have been tossing all the lettuce too. I'm not a vegetarian but I don't really want to eat slugs. Today I found slugs in the blackberries so deemed them inedible too. I'm pretty sure I won't participate next year, as the amount of veggies we receive that we want to eat vs. the amount that seem irreparably flawed in some way does not make this a good financial investment for us. It has been disappointing, and I wish I had just stuck to shopping at the grocery store.
