Welcome to Know Your Roots, LLC!

We are a team of Farmers' Market Managers & Heirloom Growers that provide our community with the opportunity to

grow together and build a local & healthy food system. 

​

We do so by offering an extensive selection of heirloom and naturally grown STARTER PLANTS for your garden and by managing FARMERS MARKETS in Stark County, Ohio.   

 

We started Know Your Roots, in honor of our decision to spread our own roots by building our farm and growing our family in northeast Ohio.

The name is intended to remind and educate on the importance of relationships, a strong local economy and knowing where our food comes from. 

The seeds we grow in the garden and throughout our community, have been in existence for centuries.

If we can learn from such, we can work together to ensure they will be available for the generations of tomorrow. 

In the production of our starter plants, we utilize Espoma Organic fertilizers (as needed) and Pro Mix potting soil. Our plants get their start in a solar and propane managed greenhouse. As soon as nature allows, they are moved to a hoophouse, heated solely by passive solar power. For pest control, we utilize ladybugs & praying mantis.

Our starter plants are available at our farm stand, by pre-order with PORCH PICK UP and at local markets.

100% Nautral 2

 

We also farm our plants utilizing  companion planting, beneficial insects, crop rotating & compost, to continue their chemical free growth into delicious and beautiful fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs. On occasion, we offer our produce at the markets.
