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.

Berger's Green Vista Farm is owned and operated by the Berger family with the health and comfort of the animals as a top priority. We are a 100% grassfed to finish, Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA) certified organic beef farm. Located in the rolling countryside of northeast Ohio, Green Vista offers a local source of gourmet grassfed beef. We are 30 minutes from Medina, 45 minutes from Akron or Canton, and less than an hour from Cleveland.

We offer 100% grassfed certified organic and all natural beef by the whole, half, split half, and ground beef by the pound along with selected cuts individually priced.

We attend the Medina Farmers Market, May through October, Saturdays from 9 AM to 1 PM.

We find no reason to use artificial fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, insecticides or herbicides. We pasture all the animals as much as possible year around. Our cattle are rotated through the pastures on a regular basis to the benefit of both plants and animals. When extreme conditions of cold or mud require us to temporarily bring the cattle onto a straw pack, they receive dry stored forages.

We encourage you to stop by, visit and see firsthand how we work to make our beef the healthiest, most enjoyable eating experience possible. We absolutely love what we do and thank God for blessing us in this manner and for giving us the opportunity to share it with others.

Blackbird Farms is located in pastoral Pierpont, Ohio less than one hour from either Erie, PA or Cleveland, OH. We are a family-owned farm  dedicated to providing  superior quality, all-natural, cruelty-free, pasture-raised pork.

Our pigs are raised in the fresh air and sunshine where they have room to roam and develop naturally. We find great happiness in being able to offer this wholesome pork to you and your family. We know that you will find it to be some of the best pork you will ever taste. Our pork chops are out of this world juicy and more flavorful than any "assembly line" pork product. There is much less waste in our product because it contains only 100% all natural-pork. No additives. It is the way pork should be—flavorful and tender. 

We are currently offering pasture-raised pork by the side or whole hog.  A half-hog yields approximately 75 pounds of take-home meat, and will take up about 1/3 of a regular top-freezer. 

We prefer pick-up, but convenient arrangements can be made. Call or e-mail for specific details on cuts, sausage seasonings, pick-up dates, etc.

TAKING RESERVATIONS FOR NEXT YEAR'S PRODUCTION OF PASTURE RAISED PORK, TURKEY, CHICKEN (CORNISH AND HERITAGE), AND LAMB. 

We currently have a limited supply of pasture raised turkey available.  These are Holland White turkey and are our first attempt at raising them.  We had an awesome experience and plan to continue next year with heritage breeds.

We appreciate your commitment to supporting small-scale environmentally conscience family farms. We can assure you that your purchase helps us to become better stewards of the land that we use to produce our products.

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. Canal Junction Blue will be ready in late March of '08.

Meat is also offered in bulk. Beef is available by the whole, half, quarter, or half of a half. Pork and lamb are offered by the whole or half. Unless other arrangements are made, it is the customer's responsibility to pick up bulk orders from the butcher shop once the order is finished.

At Farmstead Ltd. the vision of our family farm for the future has a lot to do with the view right outside our window. When we talk about our commitment to raise our food products right, or the importance of sustainable farming or our interest in the environment, it's literally how we live on the rolling landscape here in Holmes County, the heart of OH’s largest Amish/Mennonite community.

Adorn your plate and palate with the rich color and taste of our products. This is the ultimate in clean food excellence. Join the ranks of the few, the chosen, the educated vigilante intelligentsia. It is the healthiest, safest food on earth.

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.

Fox Hollow Farm is a family owned and operated farm located in the rolling hills of central Ohio in Knox County, an hour north of Columbus, near Mount Vernon in Fredericktown. We started farming in 1987 with an eye to finding a healthful and satisfying life for our family and future generations. We have developed that small start into our current successful farm and homestead operation.

Here at Fox Hollow Farm, we believe the healthiest food is naturally raised; that grass, fresh air, and freedom of movement make a difference in our animals' health... and ultimately in yours. No Added Hormones, Grass Fed and Finished, No Routine Antibiotics, Humanely Raised, Locally Processed, Delicious!

We sell naturally raised grass fed and finished lamb and eggs from free-range hens year round. We sell our products at the Mount Vernon Farmers' Market, directly from our farm (by appointment), and in the cooler months we have local free deliveries.

Let us know if you would like to visit the farm. Please visit our web site for more information or to contact us!

Golden Hill Farms goes to grass finished beef.

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.

• Large Family Bundle (60 lbs.)
• Steak Lovers Bundle (15 lbs.)
• Economy Bundle (20 lbs.)
• Ground Beef Bundle (25 lbs.)
• Family Bundle (30 lbs.)
• Roast Lovers Bundle (15 lbs.)
• Sampler Bundle (15 lbs.)

We would also like to send a special invitation to come and visit us at anytime. Please call ahead to be sure we can devote some time to you—we love visitors.

At Green Grass Farms, our philosophy is to grow healthy, quality meat in the most natural and environmentally sustainable manner we can. For us, this means that we move our animals to new paddocks of fresh grass everyday. This method has advantages for the animals, the land, and for you. 

Our animals enjoy a healthy grass diet out on pasture in the fresh air and sunshine. The land is fertilized by the carefully managed cycle of sun-grass-animal-manure-soil. Our customers' health benefits from the high nutrient quality of the grassfed meat, while their conscience benefits from the knowledge that our animals are raised naturally with care and respect. We use no growth hormones, no subtherapeutic antibiotics, and no herbicides or pesticides on our pasture land ever.

We offer Green Grass Beef Quarters (60–75 pounds) and Green grass whole lambs (25–35 pounds). Our animals are processed at a state inspected facility and are cut and wrapped in 1–3 pound packages. The meat is fresh and shipped via UPS in coolers directly to your door.  Home delivery is offered in Athens County and through the Athens County CSA. 

Our price is $4.99/lb for beef and $5.49/lb for lamb (based on retail weight not hanging weight, so you pay for only what you receive!)  

Ordering details may be found on our website or by calling (740) 591-5485.

Highland Haven Farm is a small diversified family farm located 3 miles west of Sinking Spring, OH. We farm organically with the exception of bought in feeds. We believe it is more sustainable to buy locally grown feed than having organic grain trucked in from hundreds of miles away.

Our clean, nutrient-dense foods include 100% grassfed beef, pastured pork, pastured poultry, free-range eggs, raw dairy products (available through herd-share ownerships), organic produce, home baked goods, jams and jellies. We have CSA shares available for veggies, baked goods, eggs, and chickens throughout the summer. Our greenhouse allows us to extend the growing season considerably.

Dairy cows are fed a small amount (approximately 2# per milking) of grain along with their high quality forage diet. Ration consists of corn, oats, all natural supplement and kelp-based minerals. No soy is fed to cows. We don't use antibiotics, hormones, or chemicals of any kind on our farm.

Kestrel View Farm is owned and operated by Andy and Debbie Lynd and family. Our Red Angus beef cattle and Broad-Breasted White turkeys are rotationally grazed on pastures overlooking acres of apple orchard in east central Ohio's Licking County. 

We feed no grain at any time to our cattle and supplement their pasture diet by offering them free choice selection of dried natural sea kelp that contains a full complement of minerals. 

Our turkeys' pasture diet is balanced with a daily grain ration. Turkeys are intriguing animals to raise. They are inherently suspicious of new, unfamiliar foods, but once they become used to them there is no holding them back. Red, ripe watermelon and five gallon buckets of apples are real treats for them! 

No antibiotics are administered and no steroids are used. Naturally raised is naturally superior. Give us a call or email today for more details on our offerings or to arrange a visit to the farm.

We plan to have beef ready to be processed in early November and turkeys will be ready the Monday and Tuesday prior to Thanksgiving.

Lamppost Farm brings culture and agriculture together. We raise pastured and grass-fed animals in order to give customers quality product and the opportunity for hands-on learning.

Our broiler chickens live most of their lives on our pastures, move daily to a new selection of bugs and grasses, then are processed on the farm in groups by people who care about quality. Our layer hens produce fresh brown eggs.  We anticipate the addition of our grass-fed beef and pastured pigs.

Steve came to Lamppost Farm from a college campus where he developed skills in group/team building and leadership development.  Now, he combines these skills with holistic agricultural opportunities to encourage guests to learn with the head, hearts, and hands. Melanie’s strengths include program planning, hospitality, mentoring, and relationship development. Together, these skills allow Steve and Melanie to offer more than high quality food. Here, food is an experience that continues to give for months and months beyond.

Visit us & buy from us. Experiences and food are "as available.”

Meat is available directly from our farm. We also sell Solar-Powered Chickens through the Grow Youngstown CSA. Also available from the farm is custom sawmilling, kiln dried lumber, furniture, and cabinet building.

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.

LittleFoot Family Farms, located 10 miles north of Marysville, Ohio, provides fresh, high quality food raised using natural methods. As a growing young family we understand the importance of homegrown food.

Currently we raise pastured poultry. Our chickens reside outside in movable floorless pens (Salatin style). This gives the chickens access to fresh air, sunlight, and green grass 24/7.  We are not yet certified organic, but we use a custom hormone-free and antibiotic-free supplemental feed ration. Our chickens breathe and eat as naturally as we do.

We have fresh and frozen whole broilers for sale from June–September.  Call or email for an order form.

Menagerie Farms, located 50 miles west of Toledo, Ohio, offers grassfed beef, pork, poultry, eggs and lamb. Our cattle are pastured on OCIA-certified organic land, utilizing marginal ground that it too hilly (erodable) for crop farming.

While the cattle themselves are not certified organic, we administer no drugs or hormones. Our chickens likewise are on organic grass, supplemented with organic grains, and are drug and hormone-free.

Beef is sold summer and fall by the side, split-side, or canned. Chicken is available summer and fall; eggs year-round. Delivery is available.

Ohio Grass-Fed Lamb is a small, family farm located just 35 miles southwest of Cleveland in beautiful, historic Wellington, OH. Our goal is to bring you the healthiest and tastiest grass-fed lamb available.

Our lambs are born in springtime onto lush, green pasture and remain on pasture throughout their growth. Our pastures are pesticide and herbicide free, and have been planted and managed to provide an ideal diet for grass-fed animals. The lambs are moved each day to fresh pasture and are never given even the smallest amount of grain.  Needless to say, they are never given growth hormones or antibiotics.

In early November, our lambs are taken a short distance to the butcher, where our customers can specify exactly how they would like their meat processed. Throughout all of this, our animals are handled as gently and humanely as possible.

If you would like to receive an email attachment with all of our pricing and ordering information, send us an email and let us know. We look forward to hearing from you!

Sirna's Farm and Market, a sustainable farm in Ohio, is located in Auburn Township of Geauga County. On the farm, we produce a large variety of vegetables and fruit, eggs from our free-range Golden Buffs, grass-fed pure Angus beef and award winning sweet corn. The market, located on the farm, carries an assortment of jams, homemade peanut and almond butter, honey from our hives, Amish cheeses, our produce, and our grass-fed beef and eggs.

We are not certified organic, however we use sustainable agriculture with organic methods. The major contributor to our absence of chemicals are beneficial insects (we believe that for every bad bug, there's a good bug). Also, we grow 3 different ways: hydroponically, in high tunnels, and raised bed plastic.

All the beef on the farm is raised the way nature intended—eating grass. We do not use any hormones or antibiotics and they never eat grain. Our chickens' diet consists of grass and lots of sunshine, which makes their eggs high in vitamin D.

Customers can come visit the farm market, or schedule a tour. The market is open during the summer months. Our hours are Tuesday– Sunday, 11am–6pm.

Speckled Hen Farm is located about 50 miles Northeast of Columbus in the beautiful farmlands of Morrow County. Currently, we raise pastured heirloom chickens and heritage breed turkeys. Because we have chosen to raise old-fashioned varieties of poultry, our birds take much longer to reach harvesting weight than the "highly engineered" commercial types. We believe that it's worth the extra time and expense to grow a fabulous centerpiece for the table. What would you rather have, a Big Mac or a perfectly aged steak?

Our birds have a delightful texture and far superior flavor when compared to the average meat bird. They have constant access to pasture with a variety of grasses, fruit trees and berry patches to graze (or raid, depending on whether I had any plans for those berries!), as well as frequent treats of surplus garden goodies. We use no herbicides or pesticides, provide only certified organic feed and also employ natural predator control methods, i.e. our Livestock Guardian Dog, Senser.

Chickens are available June through October and we can custom raise a batch just for you. Our heritage turkeys, including Kardosh bronze, Bourbon Red and Narragansetts, will be available fresh or frozen for Thanksgiving and Christmas. We HIGHLY recommend that you reserve a turkey in advance, as we expect to sell out quickly. For those of you that don't think you like turkey (dry, mealy, funny tasting, etc.) you really need to try one of these birds. You'll be amazed at the difference.

Pastured brown and green eggs are available year round. We package our eggs in clear, recycled plastic cartons so you can marvel over nature's palette.

We offer limited delivery to Columbus and surrounding areas for a small fee. Delivery to the OSU Medical Center campus is free!
