Our Founding Farmers

  • Preston Family Farms

    We believe that the best way to raise kids is to give them wide-open spaces to run, explore and learn how to get dirty and work hard. We believe in letting nature do what nature does best. We treat our animals with the best care and believe that healthy animals are animals who are treated as part of our family. We believe that life is too short to not do what makes you happy and being outside, caring for the land and these animals, makes us happy and makes the people who visit us happy too.

  • FreshOrr Family Farm

    This farm is an extension of our home – it’s how we feed our family. Our children participate alongside us, learning how food should be raised, and that’s important to us.

    Having a connection to where your food comes from has never been more important than right now. This is a real passion of ours and we’re proud to share what we do with others in our community so you can feel good about the food you feed your family.

    Come to the farm we’d love to visit with you.

  • Sweet Grass Dairy

    Jacob's dream someday was to operate a grass based farm that direct marketed nutrient dense foods directly to families.

    In 2011 Elizabeth & Jacob met through E-harmony and got married in Pennsylvania, Elizabeth's home state. Her family's background was in a conventional dairy farm. Jacob & Elizabeth worked on the family farm for a short time, but Jacob quickly realized that conventional farming was not his dream job.

    Thus began the dream of starting their own farm. ..

  • Schultz Valley Farms

    As farmers we look at our land and try to choose the best farming practice for the future of our farm because if we don’t take care of our land the next generation will not have a place to farm. On the farm we use many different types of farming methods in which we call sustainable growing practices that fit our farm needs. For our livestock we use a lot different methods on our farm including intensive grazing for our cattle, pasture raising for our poultry, the pigs get to enjoy leftover produce all season long and our feeders are finished on grain and hay that was grown on our farm. Our produce is grown as naturally as we can grow it. Well what does that mean. That means the use of no chemicals. We do use plastic mulch and straw to reduce the weeds so that we don’t have to spray. We do try to use as much as possible natural pest control or netting for insects but sometime there is no solution but to spray. But when we do spray we use organic sprays that are certified for organic farms. However our produce is not certified organic because we believe that organic is just a label and there is more to food than that. We believe the best way to know about your food is support local and know who is growing you food. Because in the end we are not just feeding our customers but we are feeding our family too. And when our kids eat out of the field all the time we have to make sure our food is safe to eat all the time.

  • Flourish & Roam

    Our animals are raised on our Ohio pastures under our all-natural program. They are raised without additional growth hormones, antibiotics or animal by-products. We take pride in how we raise our animals and work hard to preserve our family's legacy. When you purchase meat from our farm, you're not just buying a box of meat. You're supporting an American family, that believes in hard work, community, transparency and unwavering care for our animals.

  • County Line Meats

    We are Mike and Kim Videkovich, our family is the 5th generation to farm and raise cattle along the Pickaway County and Fairfield County line just east of Ashville, Ohio. I grew-up on the farm. Mike joined the farm full-time in 2006 after a few years in corporate America. He grew-up a suburban kid, but he jumped into farming with both feet and hasn’t looked back. He and my dad, Ray, run the family farm operation together. We have three boys, Nathan, Calvin and Blaine. We believe there is no better way to raise kids than on a farm with responsibility and dirt.

    We believe in raising high quality beef for our family and our community. Our operation is birth to butcher, meaning all of the cattle are born and raised in our care. We know where they have been and what they have been fed for their entire life. We also raise corn, sorghum, wheat, alfalfa, barley that go into feed for the cattle. Our cattle do not receive added hormones or antibiotics.
