3 Unique Small Farms in Ohio

From a living-history destination to a legacy property to an operation owned by three first-generation woman farmers, these places celebrate and illustrate our connection to the land. 

Farming takes many different forms, but it has deep ties to the history and culture of the Buckeye State. From a longtime family farm that now invites guests to its property to learn to a period-appropriate, living-history destination focused on visitor education to a foraging-focused operation that creates and sells a variety of niche products and goods, come down to the farm with us to experience why Ohio’s rural side is such a central part of life in our great state.
