Where does your fresh produce come from? How was it raised? By whom? And is it really “fresh”? Community-supported agriculture (CSA) addresses all these concerns. 
Food produced at a local CSA farm is grown by farmers who live locally. They are able to show their members where and how the food is raised. The food produced locally does not have to travel hundreds of miles or sit in warehouses. Lettuce Heads Aquaponics and Farm of Brighton Township fills this role.

Constant maintenance program, technology continues to pay off

Lorain-Medina Rural Electric Cooperative's annual outage statistics were looking impressive until 90 mph straight-line winds hit northeastern Ohio in November, skewing LMRE's numbers. 
For the other 11 months of the year, LMRE averaged 35 outages per month. In November, the number of outages more than doubled to 78. 

LaDonna and Pete Henson own Briarwood Valley Farms in Sullivan and are proud to be celebrating 50 years of operation. 
LaDonna Henson wears many hats at work. “Pete and I are the owners, but I’m the glue that holds it all together,” she said. In the first year, only 35 rabbits were butchered, but the business recently butchered as many as 25,000 rabbits in a year. The business even stayed operational through a fire in 1988.
