The holidays are in full swing, and you know what that means. The cold winter days are sure to follow! You may think “what does this mean for local produce?” “There is no way we can grow crops in the frigid Ohio winters”. Well, good news! Some crops actually grow better in cold climates.
Crops that we grow in Ohio include:
- Onion
- Garlic
- Cabbage
- Lettuce
- Beets
- Kale
- Carrots
- Potatoes
