Aufdenkampe Family Farm - is "right down the road" from the cooking school. Your experience will be like stepping into a magazine featuring a colorful market filled with vibrant colors and textures from fresh fruits and vegetables. In the spring, rhubarb, asparagus, lettuce, and peas are the first of the vegetables. As the season progresses, zucchini, raspberries, strawberries, beans and cucumbers and so much more come in, and then we start to count the days until their wonderful sweet corn and tomatoes are ready. Fresh cut herbs and flowers also grace the white wooden shelves under the open air canopy.

On their business card, owners Sandy Aufdenkampe Dovala and Richard Aufdenkampe tell customers what they are most proud of: "Everything we sell we raise ourselves." The only shipping their produce experiences is the trip on the wagon from field to stand!

And one more thing: if you get there after they have closed, you can still buy those tomatoes you need for dinner on the honor system!

They are located at a half mile west of the school on North Ridge Road in Brownhelm (Vermilion) Visit their website to know when the season starts and receive other pertinent and useful information. www.afamilyfarm

My friend Jody Frimel runs a unique greenhouse at her historic home on North Ridge Road, 2 miles west of Laurel Run. I buy all my flowers and herbs from her each spring. Visit her website to view more. www.millhollownursery.com
