Glenview Acres is a small, family-owned farm that was founded just a few years ago. According to…read morethe farm's website, the land had been family-owned for a few generations, and the owners have rebuilt the soil to grow nutrient-dense foods. The owners pasture-raise cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens. The cows and sheep eat 100% grass. The pigs are fed grass and organic grain. The chickens roam around acres of land and eat forage, insects, and organic grain, and they are never administered any antibiotics or hormones. Glenview Acres sells their foods through their farm's website, on-site store, and farmers' markets. So far, I have bought this farm's beef, chicken drumsticks, and ground chicken. These meats were very fresh and tasted very good. The prices were reasonable for the high quality.

We really liked the special Circus exhibit. There was also a Family Fest going on outside today, so we were able to enjoy that, as well. We got some art and craft projects in; pet some animals; and even got some complimentary books from the library. And don't forget the bouncy house and the inflatable slide! It was an enjoyable day and I appreciate all that the Massillon community put into this event and into the museum itself.

We are already planning to bring family there when they come to visit, and also a friend will be joining us there next week! Love it, awesome vibes and great wine selection.

They have inside seating and a nice wrap around deck. But no real food. You can bring your own which is good. They only have some cheese and crackers and chips. They have a wine selection and it's white, reds, and fruit wines. The descriptions are a bit subjective. I tried the rose and the apple. Rose was better than the apple but just ok. Apple was not. I thought it was counter to the description. I didn't want to try any more. I am sure if I tried more I'd like 1 but I didn't want to keep going it was a school night. Service is at the counter. Order and find a seat. It's pretty simple. Overall just mediocre.

Ellington Farms is a local family farm that was founded in 2010 and raises beef, chicken, and pork…read more The owners are sixth-generation farmers and studied animal science at Ohio State. They do not administer any growth hormones or unnecessary antibiotics, and they provide specialized nutritious diets to their animals. Chickens are cage-free and roam pastures. The Ellington family sells their foods through their website, onsite market, and farmers markets. Food can be either picked up or delivered. Prices are OK, and they sometimes have sales. So far, I have purchased their brisket, bacon, beef round tips, and chicken. These foods were a high quality--very fresh and flavorful. Ellington Farms's other products include steaks, pork chops, ham, sausage, ground beef, and eggs. If you want to support a small local business that treats their farm animals well, then I encourage you to visit the website for current hours or to order food online.

To explain what Palladian Palette is, here is an excerpt from the homepage of their website:…read more "Palladian Palette is a BYOB painting bar. Come on in, open your drink, and sit down in front of a canvas -- simple as that. Just want to have a place to relax for a bit? Welcome! Grab a Mini Palette Painting and paint for as long as you'd like. Five days a week Palladian Palette offers a two and a half to a three-hour experience with a local artist. That artist will guide you through a painting (famous or original), show you tips and tricks, and encourage you to take painting risks you never thought you had the skill to take. You can follow along with our artists on staff who will be there to guide the stick-figured-challenged, or you can change up colors and techniques to make it your own. Or, just paint whatever inspires you in the moment. After your time with us, you'll walk out with a painting you love, (or in 2-3 weeks, a ceramic piece) and we'll take care of the cleanup." Now, on to my review: My friend found Palladian Palette online and asked if I wanted to go. Being a super crafty girl, I enthusiastically said yes! My friend called their phone number and scheduled a painting time for last Friday night. When we first pulled up to the building, there were no parking spots available on the street. There is no lot to park in specifically for this place so we parked in the food stamp building parking lot across the street. Upon entering, we were greeted very warmly by the owner/instructor (Rachel Gentner) who was there to teach us how to paint that night. We grabbed seats in front of easels and popped open our bottle of wine. When everyone was seated, Rachel explained that she was an art teacher outside of her business and had majored in art at the University of Akron. She then began to explain how the night was going to go and how she teaches. She had us put painting smocks on, and put acrylic paints on our pallettes. She explained how the brushes worked and how to properly clean out the brushes between colors. Then we got to work on the paintings! Rachel has a calendar on her website showing what the painting of the night is so you can choose the painting you like and go that night. Everyone in the class does the same painting and follows along according to her very thorough instructions. She is excellent at explaining what to do and how to get the effects of what is going on the sample photo of the painting we are working on. She was also very helpful with replacing our brush water and making sure we had all the supplies we needed to complete our painting and have fun. She gave us plenty of free time to work on our paintings and didn't rush us at all. Also, I forgot to mention that she supplies the canvas, brushes, paints, easel, etc. The prices vary but the majority are currently $35/person. I suspect that price could fluctuate based on art supply prices. Overall, we had an excellent time and were very relaxed by the end of the night. It took approximately 3 hours from start to finish. I really enjoyed how encouraging the instructor was. Everyone in our class ended up with a different interpretation of the painting but they all turned out just beautiful! That's the fun part about it. Regardless of instruction, each painting is comepletely unique to the person who created it. Although I have prior painting experience, this place is definitely a great start for beginning painters! Do not be deterred if you aren't comfortable with a paint brush! She will teach you and help you succeed!

Not sure this is really a Yelp worthy entry but here it is anyway. This is a farm near my house…read morethat hosts a pig roast once a year. It's open to all the neighbors of the farm, free. You are expected to bring a dish. We did. There is some food they provide, including the pig. However, it's was not a real pig roast, just roast pork. I'm sure it was from their farm, but not a pit roasted pig like I had expected. They also make their own ice cream. The food they provided and the food other guests brought were all good, but just good. The event was great though. An appreciative local farmer and appreciative guests, for the most part. Worth going, but for the atmosphere, not the food.

I appreciated the clever wit and the careful attention to detail. Thank you for a great run at the Polsky building!
