Countryside Harvest Guide
Local & Seasonal Eating in Northeast Ohio

Welcome to the first edition of the Countryside Harvest Guide, your resource for finding farm-fresh, locally grown produce and delicious foods made right here in Northeast Ohio. We hope you'll join us in "going local" this fall by purchasing food from farms and food businesses that make up our local food community. The choices we make every day, impact our personal health, as well as the health of our communities and the planet. Local farms and businesses depend on our decisions. So, this fall, we invite you to taste the local difference and make a difference.

How to Use this Guide
Use this guide to connect with local food sources throughout the region. Below you'll find downloadable pdfs containing contact information for Northeast Ohio farms and farmers' markets, as well as restaurants, cafés and caterers that are making an honest effort to support local farmers by offering local foods. This is a sampling of local foods and food purveyors with whom we are familiar and can recommend, not endorsements. If you know of other local farms, markets or retailers that should be included, by all means, let us know.
