Our 2025 Pilot Farm Stop
In October of 2025, we piloted our first ever Farm Stop at Shiloh Baptist Church in the heart of Central, on the corner of East 55th Street and Scovill Avenue. For the first time, we connected local farmers and makers to not only the residents of Central Kinsman, but people across Cleveland. While there, we enjoyed engaging with people about the store, their shopping experience, how they hope to see us grow, and what it means to them to see efforts like this coming to fruition in Central Kinsman.

We’ve been at this for years - from the rumblings of an idea at a Race, Food, and Justice conference to our first grant funding in 2018.

Take a look at some of our favorite memories and get a taste of what it feels like in our community.
