The Center for Innovative Food Technology, CIFT, released this article about our relish!
"Locally Grown, National Success"
We won one of their Central Ohio Signature Food Awards for our Savory Brussels Sprout Artisan Relish in 2011. They have been hugely, instrumental in our bringing it to market! What a wonderful organization which helps to promote small producers in Ohio. They do this by providing several great commercial kitchen spaces and educational workshops as well as one on one training. Also, they provided guidence with the documents that are required. We can not thank them enough for their support and their staff - namely Paula Ray!

Here in Fredericktown's Amish Country, at Ann's Raspberry Farm & Specialty Crops, in beautiful Knox County, we are enjoying 70 degree weather which is highly unusual for spring in Ohio! The earthy smells of heat, plants and moist soil already fill our high tunnel and our hardy raspberry plants are sending up their perky shoots. All of this excites us and sends us scurrying around in preparation for another season of delightful harvests...all of us here at Ann's Raspberry Farm are gearing up to bring the finest quality to you again in 2012.

It's like spring in Ohio this first few weeks of February with bulbs beginning to appear and buds popping out on the trees. Unless we get some surprises, we will be looking forward to a long growing season this year. This is good news for those who are already dreaming of having fresh, locally grown fruits and vegatables on their plates again. Farmer's Markets should be overflowing with these delights early this year if this weather continues.
What are we doing around our farm this time of year?
We just purchased another high tunnel (unheated greenhouse) today. As we invest in our farm, we have you in mind. It is our desire to offer you more chemical-free, fresh berries at your local farmer's market this season as well as to have a greater supply of our delicious jams though next winter.
We will soon be ordering additional plants for our U-pick field to replant and add rows to enlarge this area. Plan to come harvest with us this coming fall and enjoy the beauty of central Ohio's Amish Country. We are one of the very few who offer chemical free U-pick red raspberries. Appointments are necessary in order for us to ensure your visit exceeds your expectations.
We will be ordering our Brussels Sprout plant starts this week from our Amish neighbor and we are planning to double our production of them as well. We have also been searching for more delicious Brussels sprout recipes for you to try as they continue to grow in popularity and use. We have even seen them used fresh in delicious salads as of late. You will surely want to delight your palate with a few of these recipes. Get excited the fresh, local green fare is just around the corner.
As a result of the Good Food Awards 2012, the secret is out about our fine quality product line which has us evaluating offers to carry it on the West Coast, Florida, Texas and Wisconsin from a variety of retailers of fine gourmet foods as well as here in Ohio. If you are looking for our products at your favoirite specialty food store, ask the store manager to contact us.
We are looking forward to seeing you at your local farmer's market in May!
Many Blessings,
Ann Trudel
