The Farmers.
Having grown up on a small family farm and working on neighbor’s farms Floyd Davis has been involved in farming to some extent nearly all of his life. From raising beef cattle, to milking cows, to owning and operating a hay business that paid for a college education, working with the soil seems to be his passion. After buying and moving to the farm in Kinsman, Ohio and selling sweet corn from the front yard the vegetable production business seem to fall into place. Since starting the Red Basket Farm, his passion and vision have earned him several awards; however, his biggest accomplishment to date was meeting Amy and bringing her passion and experience to the farm!
The Farm.
The Red Basket Farm specializes in twelve month extended season production utilizing almost 20,000 square feet of greenhouse space and growing “in the soil” using the same farming practices as we do in the fields. We are currently producing field crops on approximately 15 acres and we have been able to harvest vegetables ranging from Artichokes to Zucchinis in our ever-unpredictable Northeast Ohio weather.
“A ‘Quiet Revolution’ is occurring across the nation regarding food production and consumption and Northeast Ohio is on the leading edge of that movement. Consumers are gradually becoming aware of flavor and quality of local grown products and learning about the nutritional value of food like free-range eggs, grass-fed beef and vine ripened fruits... Together, these consumers and farmers are fueling the growth of farmers markets and other direct marketing methods that have the potential to transform our region.”
