AGRIADVENTURE

By Ruth Corradi Beach

Medina County offers a variety of options for an agri adventure — a day spent exploring an agricultural destination like an orchard, farm or even a western-style bull ranch.

Pine Crest Farm Market & Greenhouse is a good place to get started, with a greenhouse filled to the windows with hanging baskets, home décor and gorgeous mums in the fall. Bring home some farm-fresh fruits and vegetables when in season (like blueberries, raspberries and sweet corn) to tease your tastebuds with fresh flavors. Boyert’s Greenhouse & Farm offers gorgeous plants, trees, shrubs, veggies and more to fill your garden, and also produces local, all-natural meat and eggs, perfect for making dinners. Shopping for someone else? You’ll find garden supplies and creative gifts here, too.

Spring Mist Farms is a third-generation, family-owned working farm with an impressive variety of animals to see and (depending on the animal) interact with, including elk and emu along with the standard Old MacDonald fare. Each season brings new ways to engage, like Pumpkins & Ponies on October weekends and sleigh rides in the winter.
