Local Farms Surrounding Canton Ohio
We are surrounded by farms that provide better fresher food than can be found in most grocery stores, and the price can be the same or less straight from the farm. Most of these farms avoid chemicals and raise their animals in the pasture. We have had a chance to visit some of them and find they do a great job of producing healthy food. Use the links below to find delicious food from local farms.

Pick-Your-Own Produce
These local farms offer produce that you can pick yourself. Many also sell pre-picked produce and other foods fresh from the farm. It's hard to find food much fresher than picking it yourself. An additional benefit to pick-your-own farms is that they often avoid spraying chemicals. Check out pick-your-own farms.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
Check out these local farms that provide fresh local produce on regular basis at a reasonable price directly to you. Buy a "share" and receive a weekly box of vegetables or eggs or milk for a specified period of time. These farms may also offer food for individual sale directly to customers. Check out CSAs.
Cooperative (Co-op)
Co-ops are groups you can join that allow you to purchase certain types of food. They usually work with specific local farms that provide a variety of farm fresh foods that can be ordered as needed or on a regular basis (gallon of milk each week). Admission to groups may be limited at times to ensure there is an adequate supply for those in the group. Check out co-ops.

Healthy Meat, Eggs, Dairy
The grade is not what makes these foods healthy and high quality. It's all about how the animals were fed and raised. Simply: animals should eat what they were meant to eat, roam around outside in the sun, and they won't need hormones or antibiotic injections. Check our meat, eggs, and dairy farms.
