The 15 counties of Northeast Ohio are home to more than 4 million people, making the region larger in population than 23 states. Our regional economy is greater than many small countries and employs one-third of all workers in the state of Ohio. Together, thinking and acting as a region, Northeast Ohio can be a collective force to be reckoned with in the global economy.
Many of us are concerned about the quality of our food. We worry about pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, over processing, and lack of freshness. In response, many people are seeking new sources for their food — stores that specialize in organic foods and farms that will grow foods according to special preferences.
This section will cover organic food in Northeast Ohio.
