We’re Mike and Lizette. Along with our kids Max and Ellie and with plenty of help from Mike’s folks Keith and Diane, we’re Barton Farms. We bought Lizette’s grandparents’ long-dormant farm in Randolph, OH in 2013 and have spent the years since bringing it back to life. With a focus on improving soil health and a lot of grit, we are slowly transforming the land into a beautiful and productive space.

Mike farms full-time growing a variety of vegetables, herbs, berries, and flowers. Lizette works off-farm as a reference archivist and spends her nights and weekends preserving the harvests and crafting all-local fruit jams and jellies.

Our family loves nothing more than sharing a good meal around a big table. We hope the food we grow and craft will find a place on your family's table.
