The Thanksgiving Box is a special project of the
Heart of Ohio Chapter for the Ohio Ecological
Food and Farm Association (OEFFA).
This is the seventh year that Central Ohio
families have been able to prepare their
Thanksgiving meal with local food grown with
environmentally-friendly methods.
The deadline
to place an order has now passed.
Directions
for Order Pick Up and for the
Thanksgiving Farmers' Market are
listed below.
We're sorry
if you didn't get a chance to place an order
but we hope you'll consider placing one
with us next year.

My family
and I were extremely satisfied
with our Thanksgiving Box.
Everything really did taste better than usual!
The produce
was beautiful and the turkey
was the best I have ever cooked!
I loved it! Just the fact that none of the foods were from a "factory
farm"
made Thanksgiving better.
The experience
was special because I knew
how fresh
and pure my food was for Thanksgiving.
Dinner
was much more than just a
big traditional meal. I knew
that we were eating fresh,
healthy, and nurturing food,
that tasted wonderful. |
