What is Cleveland Roots?
Cleveland Roots is a community-based food hub and grower, offering educational programs, fresh produce and community gardens at our near west Cleveland Center that help our neighbors take ownership of their food and their health.
We provide a place and programs to support community agriculture and empower people to grow food for themselves and their families.

By way of our Center in the Clark-Fulton neighborhood, Cleveland Roots:
Grows and distributes food using a hands-on, community-based approach;
Provides a community center and programs to support urban agriculture;
Empowers people to grow food for themselves and their families.
Cleveland Roots does the bulk of its planting at our 17-acre farm in Richfield, Ohio, applying best farming practices. With the help of our volunteers, we grow fruit and vegetables, maintain a flock of chickens and four beehives to support pollinators and honey production.

Shop local
buy produce at our farm market
You’ll find our storefront at the corner of W. 41st St and Robert Ave. We welcome everyone at our market, and you choose what to pay for fresh, local produce—grown on our farm, in our garden, and by our partners. Our produce is non-certified organic.
Our market runs on donations, so you can pay whatever amount works for you—even if that’s nothing. When some people give more, it helps cover the cost for others who can’t pay that week.
We invite those with more resources to shop local, enjoy this week's freshly picked produce, and donate what you would typically pay at your favorite upscale grocery store that also offers whole foods. Your ability to shop at full price helps support the market, and you might even find that our fruits and vegetables taste better, given that they haven’t had to travel as far to reach you.
We’re open every Saturday from 10 am to 1 pm, May through October. We also hold special holiday markets on the Saturdays before Thanksgiving and Christmas, in November and December.
