Beech Meadow Farm is a two-generation, family-owned and operated farm. Located in the beautiful rolling acres of central Ohio, our livestock are 100% free from hormones, antibiotics and steroids. Beech Meadows is committed to raising livestock in an environment of sustainable agriculture and was awarded the Perry County Soil and Water Conservation District for its intensive rotational grazing practices. Beech Meadow offers 100% grass fed heritage Angus beef and pastured poultry. Our products are sold through local farmers markets and through our Metro Buying Club. Our heritage Angus beef is 100% grass fed to finish. We supplement the diet with silage when fresh grass in not available, but never any grain. Our beef is a healthy alternative to the commercial, corn-fed beef that is available in the grocery store, and offers the benefits of beef raised on a natural diet. We offer whole ground beef, split quarters and select cuts. Our pastured poultry operation includes traditional Cornish crosses and Delaware purebreds. Our birds scavenge for insects and actively graze the pasture for clover, plantain and even fescue! The resulting taste is unbelievably juicy, tender and delicious. We sell whole chicken, packaged parts (limited) and soup stock supplies. Beech Meadow Farm, Michael Koob, 7750

Canal Junction Natural Meats & Farmstead Cheese is a grass based farming operation where we believe in raising our animals for food the way that God intended them to be raised. We have a dairy herd along with beef, pork, lamb, broilers, turkeys and layers. We direct market all of the products that we produce on the farm. We recently started to make Raw Milk cheese from our own milk. The dairy, beef, and lambs are 100% grassfed. They do not receive any grain. The pork, broilers, turkeys and layers all are raised on pasture and are given supplemental feed. The broilers and turkeys are moved every 24 hours to another section of pasture. The layers are free ranged within the paddocks that we have the cattle in. We have very heavy clay soil that at one time was a swamp (The Great Black Swamp). It has been drained off since the second half of the 19th century. What was left behind was a soil that is extremely high in naturally occurring minerals. Through proper utilization of grass farming we capitalize on the available nutrients for grazing animals, which in return makes the final product more nutrient dense. It has been said that food grown on heavy clay soil is some of the best tasting in the world. Find out for yourself today. Order some cheese or stop by the farm and buy some meat to try for yourself. We sell the raw milk cheese and meat off the farm. The meat is in nice sized small packages and the cheese is in approximately 3/4 lb packages. Bigger blocks of cheese are available, just ask. The cheese we will ship, the meat must be bought through the farm store. We do have a wholesale price for the cheese for any retailers or restaurant owners. Cheeses available: Cheddar, Colby, Jack, Garlic & Herb, Jack & Dill, Pepper Jack, Italian Herb, Black Swamp Gouda, Miami Erie Canal Swiss and Wabash Erie Canal Gruyere.

At Farmstead Ltd. the vision of our family farm for the future has a lot to do with the view right outside our window.

The Flying J Farm was started five years ago with the goal and motto: Restoring the land, the buildings, and the people. Our plan and hope was to restore health to ourselves and others through growing our own food, and better nutrition and lifestyle. We have been certified organic by OCIA and OEFFA for three years. We raise grassfed, chemical-free Hereford cattle and try to have freezer beef in all cuts available year-round. The cows graze rotationally to maximize the pasture and their time on greens. We also raise organic food-grade corn, soybeans, and hard (make bread flour) and soft winter wheat. We raise hay for the cows, but feed them only what we need to get them through the winter. We also grow a large organic vegetable garden with help from interns and volunteers (always looking for more) and have a farm market as well as a CSA. Products from the garden are available during the growing season. We also make maple syrup and have it available year-round. We do four major events each year to encourage urban folks to visit the farm and see how food is raised. These include a Maple Sugar Festival in February, a Mushroom Hunt in April, a farm tour and taste of local food in July, and a Fall Harvest Festival in October. We have some five miles of trails for horseback riding, hiking or cross-country skiing through woods and around lakes, ponds, and streams. We will soon have a B&B and we do small conferences, retreats, and concerts. We are always open to visitors if they call ahead. The Flying J Farm, Richard S.

Golden Hill Farms is in northwest Pennsylvania, about 40 miles south of Erie, 80 miles north of Pittsburgh, and about 2 hours from both Cleveland and Buffalo. We are 4 miles east of I-79 off exit 141. For over 25 years we at have been producing and selling top quality show cattle, with the remaining calves being sold to feedlots for grain finishing. Since we are a grass and hay farm, this year we decided to keep 30 of our top feeders to finish on grass. During much of this time we have also operated a meat processing plant. The animals in this program will be slaughtered under federal inspection and we will be processing the meat ourselves, in our facility on our farm. Additionally, the only meat we will be processing will be our grass fed beef. This year the grass finished cattle will have an average dressed weight of 600–700 pounds. They will be sold by the half (300–350 pounds) or in bundles. We have designed 7 different bundles that we hope will meet everyone's needs. The contents and price of each can be seen on our website.

Market Street, Columbiana OH 44408. (330) 482-3246. Liberty Farm began in 2005 with the purchase of our farm in northern Morrow County, Ohio. We started with a small flock of Icelandic ewes and a handful of laying hens. It is our goal to build a sustainable farm for the purpose of raising healthy, pastured food and healthy kids. Our pastures are managed in a chemical-free style with an eye to long-term improvement of the land. We have 100% grass-fed, drug-free lamb to offer for sale. Our lambs produce very mild flavored meat. They eat nothing but grass and mother's milk with some vitamin and mineral supplement. In addition, we have chicken and eggs. Our meat birds and laying hens are fed certified organic feed and live on pasture in hoop houses that we move regularly to fresh grass. The chickens follow the sheep in the pasture rotation. This means that the grass is nice and short so the birds can take full advantage of it. Their contribution is to fertilize and scratch the ground, making better pasture for the sheep.

Bear Hollow Road, Apple Creek OH 44606. (330) 698-0340. Payne Family Farm offers raw goat milk, free-range brown eggs, pastured poultry and turkeys. We believe that our creator has endowed us with all things needed for health and healing through nature. Scarlett Payne is a Naturopathic Practitioner who sees clients in her private office for various health concerns. Part of any healing protocol is the right nutrition and that means eating live foods full of enzymes. Raw goat milk is a powerful healing food that nourishes the body with vital nutrients that are lost through pasteurization. If you have ever tasted store-bought goat milk and thought YUCK, we have to agree. Raw goat milk tastes sweet and creamy without any goaty taste. We give free samples before you buy to prove how delicious it is. The milk is sold privately through a herd-share program. A $10 fee pays for the herdshare program. We use stainless steel milk machines and a cool tank to keep the milk sanitary. Milk is bottled daily in glass quart jars and easily keeps for 2 weeks in the fridge. Some milk clients have us freeze milk in ziplock freezer bags so they can stock up during the summer to enjoy fresh milk throughout the winter. (Great way to get absorbable calcium and vitamin D.) We also spray a liquid sea mineral containing all 94 minerals on the pastures and hay field throughout the season to re-mineralize the grasses and create nutrient-dense milk, eggs and poultry. The free-range eggs are high in omega 3 fatty acids from the grass, and have a perfect protein profile. The poultry is raised on separate pasture from the goats in movable open floor pens that stay clean with fresh pasture. We noticed very little fat on the poultry, but what fat there is, is yellow, not white like grocery toxic poultry. We offer free classes on making your raw milk into kefir, a probiotic yogurt, and cheese. We invite you to join the fun! We are located 45 minutes from Columbus.
