Granville

Alexandria

Sunbeam Family Farm is a certified organic vegetable farm in Alexandria, Ohio, family owned and operated by retired educators Chuck and Cynthia since 2011 — where Mother Nature is the boss. Minimal tillage, organic compost, cover crops, and rotations build rich soils behind bold-flavored vegetables sold through the farm's CSA, multiple pickup locations, and the Saturday Granville markets.

Johnstown

Copia Farm in Johnstown, Ohio — a quick drive from Columbus, Westerville, and New Albany — runs its farm store 9 to 8 every single day of the year, stocked with mobile pasture-raised GMO-free eggs, beef, chicken, pork, lamb, bison, and organ meats. Grass-fed A2/A2 raw milk, cheese, yogurt, and butter join cleanly grown seasonal produce, in the regenerative spirit of Joel Salatin: we vote three times a day with every bite.

Mount Vernon

Berry Barn is a produce and pick-your-own operation on Old Columbus Road just outside Mount Vernon, in Knox County, central Ohio. The name points to berries, most likely strawberries in early summer with brambles or blueberries to follow. Small central-Ohio berry farms open only during their short picking window, and hours shift with the weather and the crop, so call ahead before making the drive.

Baltimore

Jerry's Berries sits on Basil Western Road outside Baltimore, a farm town in Fairfield County southeast of Columbus. The name points to a berry operation, the sort of small central-Ohio farm where pickers turn up in June and early summer for whatever has come ripe. Conditions shift week to week, so a quick call ahead saves a wasted trip.

Frazeysburg

Carobeth Berry Farm runs pick-your-own blackberries, blueberries, and red raspberries on Township Road 68 in Frazeysburg, in Muskingum County. Picking opens mid-morning in season. It's a small operation without a website; its listings and Facebook page carry ripening updates, and calling ahead confirms what's ready.

Centerburg

Mount Vernon

Knox Berry Farm grows berries on Bryant Road near Mount Vernon, the seat of Knox County in central Ohio. Summer is the season for local berries here, when patches open for a short pick-your-own window. Daily hours aren't published online, so call ahead to confirm what's ripe. Not to be confused with the same-named farm out in Washington State.

Fredericktown

Z Street Blueberry Farm grows pick-your-own blueberries on Z Street near Fredericktown, in Knox County, central Ohio. Blueberries here ripen through July and into August, and u-pick farms like this open row by row as the fruit comes in. Bring your own containers if asked, and call ahead, since a wet or hot spell can shift picking days week to week.

Fredericktown

Groveport

Three Creeks Produce is a certified organic vegetable farm in Groveport, in Central Ohio, run by first-generation farmers who grow tasty food while nurturing land, environment, and community. Skipping synthetic pesticides and herbicides in favor of soil-building and ecological stewardship, the farm supplies Columbus-area restaurants and groceries plus the Columbus Farm Club CSA.
