Welcome to Baillie Farm's web page! We're a small family operated farm located in Carrollton, Ohio that grows all of our products sustainably. This means that we do not use herbicides, pesticides or chemical fertilizers of any sort on our crops like most conventional farming techniques. We follow these practices because they are the right thing to do - for those who eat our fruits and vegetables, those who work on our farm, and for the environment. We sell a wide range of products including vegetables, fruits, handcrafted homemade breads, cut flowers, herbs, free range eggs, and 100% grass fed meat (beef and lamb).

We participate in the Carrollton farmers market each week and run a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program off of our Farm (for more info on our CSA shares check out the CSA tab on our website). Baillie Farm strives for quality products, valued community, sustainable agriculture and education. By purchasing products from Baillie Farm and other local farms you are protecting this land and our values for the next generation.

We wanted to provide a place on our website to keep people updated of any neat things going on around the nation when it comes to local food. We'll also post fun articles about cooking as well as any reading material you find at our booth on Saturdays. I hope you'll enjoy a good read as much as we do. Please feel free to email us anything good you come across!

Bringing fresh, local food to the Carrollton, OH area

Fall is in the Air

Updated Aug 29th

The pumpkins are growing (orange), the watermelons are engorging (beautifully), and the leaves are changing colors at Baillie Farm. Indian Summer... that is what the coastal regions always call this weather, comprised of cool fall nights and 80 degree days, ahhh, finally! (and maybe some rain)

Fall also means we have some new things going on at the market from September to October. I'll start with our fresh vegetables... Since the weather has been turning up we have been featuring our surplus crops at the Carrollton's Farmers' Market again. Last week we sold out of our heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, squash and zucchini in ONE hour! We can't thank our patrons enough for continually supporting our clean farming practices. Lettuce, spinach, kale, kolhrabi, turnips, radishes, and melons are on the horizon for the upcoming months, be on the lookout.

As for Baked Goods, the cryptic code that is baking Gluten Free has been conquered for us! Two weeks ago we offered samples of our Gluten Free Crusty Bread which was a success. Since Gluten Free is so expensive to make this Saturday will be the last weekend we have it out for sale. Starting Sept 1st Gluten Free Breads will require a deposit to be put down for the following week. So if your GF and want to try our bread come on out this weekend! On another note, the overwhelming zucchini crop is finally waning down so this weekend may be the last time we have our baked whole wheat zucchini products. In light of that we will be offering up, what we like to call, morning energy muffins that is packed with our deliciously grown Baillie Farm zucchini. Come over and sample our Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins, as well as our Raisin Zucchini Muffins.

We, at Baillie Farm, hope to see you all out and about for Labor Day weekend! (Because supporting your local Farmers is fun!)

Whats Happening on our Farm...

Updated July 3rd

CSA Update

We have been astonished over the interest in our Carrollton CSA, thank you to all of you who purchased a 2012 CSA share & to all of you who applied, we have officially filled all available shares off of our farm. As some of you know, our CSA wait list continues to grow so we are working diligently to find other local Organic farmers to partner up with us in order to provide more shares. We hope that in a few weeks we will be taking on more shares for the summer, thank you for your patience.

If your new to our program and you'd like more information on our CSA and/or want to get put on our waiting list, please contact us immediately. If you are an organic grower please contact us for more information on what we do at our farm and how to get involved.

Word on the streets: Opening a Farm Stand at Baillie Farm

Currently, Baillie Farm is considering opening up our farm for business on CSA pick-up days. We can't keep up with the demands of Carrollton's Saturday Farmer's Market so we will be announcing, soon, if a farm stand could be feasible right here at Baillie Farm. Thank you for your patience in waiting while we work on expanding our farm to meet the needs of our community!

Local farmers’ market offers food — honest and fresh

Awesome job Canton Rep for plugging this local article!

Supermarkets are quiet and solitary as we intently study prices and ingredient labels. Farmers’ markets are boisterous, convivial and informal. Sellers’ friendliness is catchy. Soon, everybody’s jawboning and having a good time. Some people go just for that, the village well, the gathering place.

Big plus: When you buy from the person who grew your food, you know it will be honest and fresh. You do not find that personal accountability in huge groceries. And you’re helping support a critically important segment of our economy, our food producers. On a larger level, you’re preserving our farmlands, the oases of green so important to our environment.

Whats behind the Record Heat?

Great Article since we're trying to grow food this year! When will the drought end?

Heat is beating records around the country: the first five months of 2012 have been the hottest on record in the contiguous United States. And that's not including June, when 164 all-time high temperature records were tied or broken around the country, according to government records.

That's unusual, since the most intense heat usually comes in July and August for much of the country, said Jake Crouch, a climate scientist with National Climatic Data Center. For example, only 47 all-time high records were tied or broken in June of last year.
