18th Edition • June 2012

Commonly Used Phrases 

Certified Organic:The production practices used on the farm 

or garden site meet or exceed national standards for organic 

production, and have been verified by a certifying agency (such 

as OEFFA) accredited by the USDA. Products grown on these 

sites may carry the USDA or certifying agency’s seal and are 

sold as organic. 

Pick Your Own (PYO, U-Pick): Farmers put their efforts into 

crop production chores and leave the harvesting to their consumers. 

It is best to call ahead for hours and availability. 

Farmers’ Markets: These are centralized locations where farmers 

gather to sell products directly to the public. 

On-Farm, Roadside Stand or Farm Stand sales: Products are 

sold from an enclosed farm store, seasonal roadside stand on or 

near the farm, or directly from the farm by appointment. It is 

best to call ahead for hours and availability. 

A searchable database of farmers’ markets, pick your own, farm 

markets and roadside stands can be found at www.ohioproud.org/ 

searchmarkets.php. The USDA also has a searchable database of 

farmers' markets: www.apps.ams.usda.gov/FarmersMarkets. 

Subscription or Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) 

networks: In a traditional CSA network the consumers participate 

in the financial risks of production by paying an up-front 

subscription fee or by buying “shares” in the farming operation 

in exchange for a portion of the season’s production. Growers 

get a secure market and avoid taking on debt to plant. Consumers 

get truly fresh food (often delivered directly to their neighborhood), 

raised by their “own” farmer. Subscription gardens 

and CSA networks vary quite a bit because each one tailors its 

structure and requirements in ways that best accommodate the 

needs of the producers and consumers involved. 

Wholesale: Farmers sell in bulk to a retail outlet, restaurant, 

produce or grain distributor, or to someone other than the end 

user. 

Direct Marketing or Retail Sales:Farmers sell directly to the 

end user through farmers’ markets, pick your own sales, CSAs, 

or other on-farm sales. 

Contract Growing:Farmers agree in advance to raise a particular 

crop for a particular person or market. This method enables 

consumers or retailers with special needs to order exactly the 

amount and varieties they want and gives farmers a guaranteed 

market for their products. 

A Few More Words About 

Organic Certification 

All farms identified as certified organic hold valid 

organic certificates as of January 2012. 

Not all products listed under a certified organic 

grower are necessarily certified organic (unless 

explicitly stated). Please check the individual’s 

current certificate to verify which products are 

certified organic. You can ask to see the grower’s 

certificate, contact the OEFFA Certification 

Program (if he or she is certified by us), or go to 

the searchable database on the National Organic 

Program’s website: http://apps.ams.usda.gov/nop/ 

A select group of small-scale growers are not 

required to go through the certification process, 

but are still permitted to use the word organic to 

describe their products (they may not use a USDA 

or certifying agency’s seal). These growers still must 

meet or exceed the national standards for organic 

production, but their practices have not been verified. 

There are also farmers who use organic production 

practices, but choose not to get certified and are 

therefore not allowed to use the word organic to 

describe their products or their farms, although their 

products have been raised using similar methods. 

For more information about organic certification 

visit www.oeffa.org or contact OEFFA’s certification 

office at (614) 262-2022.

About This Guide 

While the size of this publication has grown – from about a 

dozen profiles in the first edition to more than 350 today – the 

purpose of the Good Earth Guide has remained constant: making 

connections. Connecting consumers to local farms and associated 

businesses so that their dollars support wholesome food and farmrelated 

products produced using ecologically supportive practices. 

Connecting farmers with other farmers to network with and 

develop business relationships that support a successful farming 

community. And, connecting businesses and farmers who are 

working to provide healthy, local food and farm-related products. 




The information in this publication has been provided directly 

by individual producers and businesses. These listings are selfreported. 

Other than organic certification, OEFFA does not verify 

claims made in this document. (See page ii for more information 

on certified organic.) 

OEFFA member producers and farm- and food-related businesses 

may choose to be included in the Good Earth Guide. Many, 

but not all, do have a profile, and certainly not every ecologicallyminded 

farm and farm- or food-related business is an OEFFA 

member. Therefore, the Good Earth Guide is not an all-encompassing 

guide, but rather a starting place for consumers to begin 

their search for fresh local foods, and for networking among farms 

and farm-and food-related businesses. 

It is more important now than ever that, as buyers, we support our 

local food systems. OEFFA urges you to get to know the people 

who raise the food you and your family eat and find out how it 

was produced. Many of the people listed here welcome visitors 

through scheduled farm tours or by appointment, and virtually all 

of them will share their considerable knowledge of land stewardship 

with anyone who takes the time to ask. 

Please show your support of their efforts with your food dollars. 

And show your support for the local and organic food movement 

by joining or renewing your OEFFA membership today. 

(See page 62). 

The Good Earth Guide is also available in an easy to use online searchable 

database at www.oeffa.org. The online version includes locations 

(such as farmers' markets, restaurants and grocery stores) and maps 

where many of the products included in this publication are sold.

The Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA) was formed in 1979 and is a grassroots coalition of farmers, 

backyard gardeners, consumers, retailers, educators, researchers, and others working together to promote sustainable 

and healthful agriculture in Ohio and elsewhere. For more than 30 years, OEFFA has used education, advocacy, 

and grassroots organizing to promote local and organic food systems, helping farmers and consumers reconnect and together 

build a sustainable food system, one meal at a time. OEFFA offers organic certification services, farm tours, an 

educational conference, workshops and webinars, and produces a quarterly newsletter as well as the Good Earth Guide. 

OEFFA also offers assistance to farmers and gardeners with production and marketing questions and advocates for policies 

that protect and support sustainable agriculture. Find out more about OEFFA and its work on the web at www.oeffa.org.

vineyard is our passion. We offer Ohio’s first and only grown, produced 

and bottled Petit Manseng. Petit Manseng is an old variety, famous for 

being the only wine used to baptize the royal child Henry IV. Grown 

in the Jurancon region of southwest France at the foot of the Pyrenees, 

it makes what Jancis Robinson eloquently describes as “one of France’s 

unusually underrated treasures, Jurancon Moelleux, a seductively juicy, 

sweet, long-lived white.”

and Romney wool and mohair; processing (carding, blending, spinning,

spin-ins 

Description: Located 35 miles east of Cincinnati, our farm has a 

small flock of sheep and Angora goats selected for their high quality 

fleeces. The extent of processing depends upon the end use of the 

fiber, resulting in the finest of materials and products for spinners and 

artisans. We are ecologically and environmentally responsible. The 

farm has been our home and way of life for 38 years. Organic methods, 

including great amounts of composted animal waste, are used to 

promote natural abundance in pasture and garden production, without 

chemical fertilizers, insecticides or herbicides. Natural dyes and herbs

Products: fertilizer, organic fertilizer, vegetable fertilizer, lawn fertilizer,

Description: We are a family farm in business for more than four 

generations. We know firsthand that an unbalanced soil will not 

produce the nutritional and abundant harvest we all want to achieve. 

We can no longer rely on our local grocery store to provide healthy 

produce. What’s available is nutrient deficient and can actually harm 

your health. Our goal is to rebuild your soil that has been depleted of 

essential nutrients so you can enjoy healthier produce from your own 

backyard. Over the last 15 years we have pursued better ways of raising 

healthier and higher quality crops using natural sources of fertilizer that 

cannot be found in today’s garden stores. We could not find the quality 

of fertilizer we were looking for commercially, so we created our own. 

Our HyR Brix Foundation and Custom Blend Fertilizers have been 

tested and perfected on our more than 2,000 acres of crops.

Mary-Frances R. Bartels maryfrances@rudolphsrabbitranch.com 

Products: rabbits, free-range duck and goose eggs (eating and 

hatching), feathers, pelts 

Description: Our small family farm is in central OH. We raise rabbits, 

ducks, geese and occasionally goats. We feature high percentage New 

Zealand rabbits and some of the rarest breeds of waterfowl around. 

While Campbells is a fairly common duck breed, our Welsh Harlequin, 

Golden Cascades and Brown Chinese geese are only available from a 

handful of breeders across the nation, and are listed with the American 

Livestock Breeds Conservancy. The ducks and geese are free range 

and spend most days frolicking in our stream. They enjoy dining on 

scrumptious young grass and any succulent insects they can catch. They 

are confined to a barn at night for protection and snack on locallyraised 

feed. Some rabbits are kept in wire cages, but as the season allows 

others are pastured in “rabbit tractors,” which allow for some grazing.

Sandusky Co., where we grew more than 100 different varietals in an 

attempt to find the best products for central OH chefs. In addition, we 

soon saw a real need in the community for a direct connection between 

consumers searching for honestly grown produce and the farms that 

provide it. So began our CSA program, which is now the anchor of 

our farming operation. Today, Wayward Seed is based in central OH, 

farming land in both Madison and Union counties.

1 

Freshness Locally grown organic fruits and vegetables are 

usually harvested within 24 hours of being purchased by the 

consumer. Produce from California can't be that fresh. 

2 

3 

Taste Produce picked and eaten at the height of freshness 

tastes better. 

Nutrition Nutritional value declines, often dramatically, as 

time passes after harvest. Because locally-grown produce is 

freshest, it is more nutritionally complete. 

4 

Health and SafetyAbout 80 percent of American adults 

say they are concerned about the safety of the food they eat. 

Pesticides and Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are not 

permitted in an organic production system. Choosing organic 

food is a way to minimize you and your family’s exposure to 

harmful pesticide residues, which have been linked to cancer and 

other medical problems. 

5 

Variety Organic farmers selling locally are not limited to 

the few varieties that are bred for long distance shipping, 

high yields, and shelf life. Often they raise and sell wonderful 

unusual varieties you will never find on supermarket shelves. 

6 

Regional Economic HealthBuying locally grown food 

allows you to support your neighbor, keeps money in your 

community and helps protect farmland by making farming more 

profitable, improving everyone’s quality of life. 

7 

Soil Stewardship Soil health is essential for the survival 

of our species. Conventional farming practices are rapidly 

depleting topsoil fertility. Creating and sustaining soil fertility is 

the major objective for organic growers. 

8 

Energy ConservationOne-fifth of all petroleum now used 

in the United States is used in agriculture. Buying locally 

grown organic foods decreases dependence on petroleum, a 

nonrenewable energy source, because organic production systems 

do not rely upon petroleum derived fertilizers and pesticides. 

Buying from local producers prevents long distance shipping, so 

energy is also conserved at the distribution level. 

9 

Environmental Protection Soil erosion; pesticide 

contamination of soil, air, and water; nitrate loading of 

waterways and wells, and elimination of planetary biodiversity 

are some of the problems associated with today’s predominant 

farming methods. Organic growers use practices that protect soil, 

air, and water resources, as well as promote biodiversity. 

Twelve Reasons to Buy Local and Organic 

10 

Cost Conventional food prices don’t reflect the 

hidden costs of the environmental, health and social 

consequences of predominant production practices, such as 

correcting a water supply polluted by agricultural runoff, or 

obtaining medical treatment for pesticide-induced illness 

suffered by farmers or consumers. When these and other hidden 

costs are taken into account, as they should be, locally grown 

organic foods are seen clearly for the value they are, even when 

the price is a bit more. 

11 

Community Eating locally allows consumers to get to 

know who raises their food and to find out how it was 

produced, fostering a connection between farmers and the 

community. Regional food production systems also enable people 

to influence how their food is grown and provide interesting job 

and self-employment opportunities. 

12 

Maple Syrup 

Passing on the Stewardship Ethic When you buy locally 

produced organic food you cannot help but raise the 

consciousness of your friends and family about how food buying 

decisions can make a difference in your life and the life of your 

community.
