Ohio Earth Food was founded in 1972 after observing the benefits of farming with natural fertilizers and being concerned with the effects of conventional / chemical farming on the environment and human health. Over the years, we have added to our line of all natural, proprietary fertilizers to include potting soil, soil amendments, pest controls, animal feed supplements and other organic products of the finest quality and proven performance for gardens, lawns and farms.

A leader of sustainable agriculture, our goal is to aid farmers and gardeners produce good, healthy food and plants, as well as improve the quality of the soil and the environment. As we have expanded into other related areas such as organic lawn and turf care, we continue to strive to help make our land safe for future generations.

Old River Farm is committed to supporting the North American Devon cattle breed and helping sustain the knowledge and wisdom gained over the centuries about cattle breeding.

Organic Bliss is a socially responsible food company committed to sustainability, ethical operations, and serving our community by delivering healthy, organic comfort foods for all to enjoy. We will soon be a Certified B corporation insuring that our suppliers, their employees, our employees and our customers are treated with dignity and fairness. Our soon to come “retail package” will be 100% compostable (we hope!) and every retail sale will provide $.10 for one of three focused areas of support… the Food Fight (to improve the food we feed our families) the Family Fight (to support children and families), and the Freedom Fight (to end slavery and human trafficking). As we grow, we hope that you will join us in our efforts to create the highest quality organic indulgences and to making our communities stronger.

Responding to double-digit growth in the fastest growing retail food category, the Organic Produce Network (OPN) was founded in January, 2017, to connect facets of the organic produce community through education, information and live events.

Produce industry veterans Matt Seeley, former vice president of marketing for The Nunes Company, and Tonya Antle, former vice president of organic sales for Earthbound Farm, are co-founders of the company.

OPN is being designed as the voice and go-to resource for all things related to organic produce. The company's mission is to inform and educate through a strong digital presence with an emphasis on original content, and complimented by engaging live events which bring together various components of the organic food community.

OPN is an informal online network providing critical and timely information such as news, updates, statistics and historical benchmarks to those in the organic fresh produce business. OPN will also provide live and online learning and networking opportunities. The OPN target audience is organic producers, handlers, distributors, processors, wholesalers, foodservice operators and retailers.

The OPN website and weekly digital newsletter OPN Connect will feature topical and relevant content related to organic fresh produce, with a special emphasis on thought-provoking commentary and analysis from leaders and influencers in the organic produce and food arena.

Founded in 2015 by husband-and-wife team Labid Ameri and Anne Bousquet, Organic Origins started out as the U.S. importing arm for Domaine Bousquet, a pioneering producer of pure, intense, 100% organically grown wines from Argentina’s Uco Valley.

Over the past decade, Domaine Bousquet has grown from strength to strength, not only in the U.S., but across the globe, thanks to its dynamic owners’ vision, drive, and impeccable execution.

Building on their initial success with Domaine Bousquet, Ameri and Bousquet are now excited to expand their Origins Organic portfolio, introducing new organic wine producers to the U.S. As Ameri, puts it simply: “Our vision is to become the largest importer of organic wines in the U.S., known as a reference for wines with a strong price-to-quality ratio and sourced from around the world, in addition to those produced by Domaine Bousquet.”

There are many things a college can do with that much land, but Oxford knew the best way to use this generous gift: Create a working organic farm that could not only provide fresh produce for student dining but could also provide hands-on experience that cuts across many disciplines. The farm began operation in 2014 and quickly earned a spot on the list of the Top 30 Sustainable College-Run Farms. Much of the produce from the farm winds up on the plates of Oxford students. It is also sold at Emory University’s weekly farmers market and to local community members through a subscription service.
