Turner Farm

This is an amazing beautiful farm near my home. Take a drive on a day with the sun shining, your windows down, through the rolling hills of Indian Hill… gape at the estates, the beautiful countryside, and then arrive, surprisingly, at the entrance to this gorgeous organic farm.
Drive slowly down the gravel driveway, and as you approach, you realize you are truly somewhere special. Exotic chickens roam free, a beautiful horse (Clydesdale?) grazes behind a barn. Chicken houses, signs pointing out different growing areas, all so lovely and peaceful. Go inside the barn, open the fridges, pick out what’s fresh, and put your money in the pail. They also take checks if you don’t have cash! Our favorites are the eggs (brown), kale, shitake mushrooms…
It’s truly an immersive experience while you are picking out your produce, etc. If you can’t make it to the farm (which you really should someday), find their stand at the Madeira Farmer’s Market.

Turner farm so totally rocks!
They have amazing produce, meat, eggs, etc. all right from the farm, straight to your plate. The prices are embarrassingly low. They have really killer classes and events. They’ll teach you to drive a plow using draft animals. They have hay rides, wreath making classes, felting, all types of gardening education, they accept volunteers, they have events for school children, they have had screenings of food and farming movies such as Fresh (featuring Michael Pollan). I can’t even remember all the different events they have had over the last year. I recommend getting on their mailing list to stay up to speed on their events, and available food stuffs. They make regular appearances at Findlay Market.
They are part of Community Supported Agriculture through Local Harvest.
