How FarmShare Works
FarmShare has cultivated partnerships with farmers and producers throughout the Northeast Ohio region to grow, harvest, and deliver the freshest, most flavorful fruits, vegetables, and locally made foods available. We also work with local bakers, beekeepers, and artisan food producers to offer our subscribers convenient access to a wide variety of wholesome and delicious, Ohio-made foods. We make a seasonal commitment to our farmers and producers that ensures our subscribers top-notch quality and variety throughout the growing season.
Each weekly FarmShare delivery includes:
- The finest, locally-grown produce -- fresh from the farm within 24-48 hours of harvest;
Artisan bread baked by Cleveland's finest bakers; - Fresh culinary herbs;
- FarmShare Preview email -- a sneak peek of each week's delivery in advance;
Our weekly FarmShare newsletter featuring a bounty of simple, seasonal recipes and cooking tips plus farm profiles and news to help you connect with your farmers and local food community; - Delivery to our Tower City location in your very own FarmShare tote bag.
Each FarmShare delivery typically includes 5-7 different types of vegetables and 1-2 types of fruit.
FarmShare deliveries are sized to feed 1-2 adults who love veggies or a typical family with young children. Larger families and voracious vegetarians may wish to purchase additional shares. Smaller households or singles may prefer to share a FarmShare subscription with a colleague, friend or neighbor.
All FarmShare produce is grown within 50-100 miles of the greater Cleveland area and generally delivered within 24-48 hours of harvest.
FarmShare sources the highest quality produce from local farmers who practice Certified Organic as well as sustainable and conventional farming methods. All items FarmShare delivers will be identified as Certified-Organic, Certified Naturally Grown, sustainable or conventionally grown.
FarmShare offers subscribers a convenient downtown Cleveland pick-up location each Thursday afternoon at Tower City from 3-5:30pm.
Subscribers return their tote bags when they pick up each week's delivery.

What our subscribers have to say about FarmShare:
“I was able to add more veggies to my family’s diet.
Plus it was locally grown and I feel that is very important for quality and to support our local economy.”
“The convenience was wonderful.”
“I love going to pick up my FarmShare bag every Thursday. It’s like getting a present!”
“The broccoli you had last week was, hands down, the best, broccoli I’ve ever had!
If all broccoli tasted as that did kids everywhere would be requesting it at every meal!”
It’s nice to know where your food is coming from, and it feels good to support the local economy.”
“I found out I love cabbage and Swiss chard. I would have never tried them if it wasn’t for FarmShare”
“I can’t wait to see what goodies we get in our bag each week (I swear that is half the fun). My husband can’t stop raving about the vegetables. He said over and over that he hadn’t tasted anything that good since he was a kid. I really enjoy your newsletters too.”
“This is like Christmas for a foodie like me... it's the best way to try new things and support local business.”
