by Benjamin Sage 3-16-07Locally grown produce is a wonderful asset to every community. From CSA's to Farmers Markets every meal is unique. Sage's Apples Farm is now in its 5th Generation here in Chardon, Ohio. All of our produce is sold through our farm market to local customers and family back in town for their favorite apple they can only buy at Sage's. We pride ourselves with providing only the best product to our customers. Our goal is to grow ourselves as much as we can to ensure proper harvest and cultural practices have been given to the products we sell.We are a conventional family farm, which means our families work on the farm along with some hired local labor to plant, maintain, and harvest our produce. We practice Integrated Pest Management IPM for short, to control pests that pose a problem for the fruits and vegetables we raise. IPM is a standard of relying on specific pest life cycles to time specific sprays to maximize its effectiveness. We don't want to spray any more than we have to ; most spraying is done evenings when conditions are more favorable for spraying, but time is lost with our families.We grow what we like to eat is the bottom line! We grow so many varieties to extend our season but also because we each like different ones. this is what makes us unique. When you visit us to buy local sweet corn we try to provide two or three types. When asked if one is better than the other we simply say, "you will have to try each to find out". We can't say which you will like the best but we can offer you a selection.
