MEADOW VIEW GROWERSMeadow View Growers is a family business that began in the fall of 1984 when a cornfield was converted to three greenhouse structures. As

the company grows over the years, the Robinson family still oversees the daily operations and

puts best practices and core values at the heart of everything Meadow View does. Today, we’re one of the premiere horticultural businesses in Ohio backed by a collective staff experience

totaling over 350 years.

BOWMAN AND LANDES TURKEYSFor more than three generations, Bowman and Landes Turkeys has maintained a reputation for

value and flavor that sets it apart, and brings people back for more. Turkeys have been raised

on the Bowman and Landes turkey farm since 1948. The original mission to produce the

highest quality free range turkeys using the most natural home grown grains has not

changed and continues to drive the organization.

INDIAN CREEK DISTILLERYA tour of this historic farmstead is a glimpse

into the past and will return visitors to an earlier time with its quiet beauty, ageless spirit and family history. Situated along meandering

Indian Creek, all of the original buildings remain today, and all are full of items from the past. The distillery produced double copper distilled rye whiskey and operated day and

night until the middle of the Civil War when a tax was placed on whiskey.

FULTON FARMSThe farm market houses the retail side of Fulton

Farms and is located in a more than 100 year old barn that is an excellent example of construction techniques from the 19th century. The market features produce grown on the farm such as

asparagus, green beans, peas, onions, tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, watermelon and more.

Visitors will notice two things: the old rafters and tractor seats, which date back to the 1930s and 1940s. Fulton Farms has a CSA (community supported agriculture) program, known as The

Happy Box, that provides customers with home delivery of fresh, organic produce. Each week, customers receive a generous box of locally

sourced, organic food.

Watershed since the issues began.

EDGE OF FIELD MONITORING SITEAttendees will see and hear about a monitoring station that is providing scientific data on current agricultural practices and their impact on nutrient
