Ohio City Farm, established in 2010, is one of the largest and most prolific urban farms in the nation thanks to its six-acre footprint. The plots are planned, planted and cultivated by a team of former refugees through the Refugee Response program.

The farm sells directly to a variety of area restaurants, but also to the general public through its CSA program and Farm Stand. The CSA allotment has been fully spoken for, but the farm stand is a home cook’s second-best option. Open every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the stand sells organic seasonal produce, fruits and herbs at the peak of perfection.

Look for the stand near the intersection of W. 24th & Bridge Ave., not far from the giant Market Garden “BEER” sign behind the West Side Market.

  1. Unfortunatly their produce price points always seem to be double that of the poor vendor’s arcade across the parking lot, at the West Side Market.

    And if I’m going to pay that much green for a few salad greens, my neighborhood Farmer’s Market, or excess produce from Ohio City’s Kentucky Gardens, and the West 47th Street Community Garden make much more cents, especially at those Farmer’s Markets that double your SNAP cash at their stands.

    But then I’ve been spoiled by the weekly FREE fresh produce deliveries from the Cleveland Food Bank, while putting Ohio’s National Guardsmen, US Army Reservists, and other tax-funded Public Safety Forces to better uses than tear gassing, and beating political protesters on their public highways and sidewalks.
