Doug and Katy Kern began Bradwood Farm in 1999 with ten acres and two cows. The Ohio farm has since expanded to include cattle, field work, and hydroponic growing in a greenhouse and high tunnel.
Tomatoes, English cucumbers, and bell peppers are among its hydroponically grown crops. The farm also lists maple syrup, meat, eggs, hay, and lumber among its products, reflecting an operation with more than one kind of work happening.
For dinner, the vegetables are a straightforward place to start. Slice cucumber for lunch, put peppers in the roasting pan, or use tomatoes in whatever you’re cooking tonight. The meal can stay simple even when the farm behind it isn’t.
