We took a nice daytrip to find more fresh produce for our little chicken farm and came across a pure gem. Naturally, our vegetables, seed and feed must be organic, and we were lucky enough to find the Wayward Seed Farm. Located in Marysville, Ohio, near the state capital of Columbus, the Wayward Seed Farm is an organic-method farm that is changing the way many Ohioans purchase fresh produce. Subscriptions can be bought for magazines and movie rental services, so why not use the same principle and apply it to organic farming?

The Wayward Seed latched onto this idea, and is now offering Ohioans weekly drop-offs of fresh produce for a flat rate. The concept is simple: Purchase your vegetables in the winter, enjoy them in the summer when the crops are ready and they are delivered. No longer will you have to worry about the rising costs of supermarket produce, and you’ll benefit from a healthy, fresh lifestyle.

Besides fruits and veggies, The Wayward Seed also has delicious herbs that are home-grown on the farm. Their herbs add a delicious, savory aspect to any meals. What a perfect way to add flavor without dumping in extra salt.

The Wayward Seed refuses any use of petrochemicals or pesticides in its operation, and ensure that all plants are given a healthy feeding of seaweed, fish emulsion and humus. Aged compost is applied at certain times during the year to encourage microorganism growth in the soil, which benefits the crop. Quite simply, the Wayward Seed’s Columbus fresh produce is better than any in the region.
