The land used to be a state tree farm and the family bought it about 10 years ago. They have another farm, on the other side of town, which has been farmed by their family for over 100 years. State of Ohio honored the farm as a centennial family farm in the last couple of years.

They sell strawberries, blueberries, pumpkins, gourds and now asparagus. I would love to see them offer more veggies.

This is the first year I got asparagus from them, usually get it from the store. Such a treat!

When we first got married, he wouldn't try things, but over the years he got more adventurous. He loved my cooking, and I can't think of anything I don't like, so it worked out.

He passed away in 2017, and sometimes I make meals like this, all for me!

I used to live out in the county n every year about this time, I’d take my little cutting knife n a basket n go to the U-pick n load up. I could eat my weight in asparagus! Now, I go to the farmers market that’s not too far n load up! Was fun back then n finally! Something I really like that’s good for ya😎
