Why We Sell Only Within Ohio

Food for Ohioans — On Purpose

We have made a very specific and deliberate decision: we serve only Ohioans, with food raised 100% in Ohio. This isn’t a limitation—it’s a choice, a conviction, and a line in the sand rooted in our mission.

1. Hyper-Focused on Our Mission

Our mission is simple: “As farmers, we seek to heal our relationships with land and animals. We share this with our patrons through the food it produces.” Everything we do begins here. Real regenerative farming does not scale quickly or easily—you cannot rush healthy soil, hurry a pasture into balance, or accelerate healing in a living ecosystem. Regeneration is slow, deliberate, relational work. There is no growth hack, shortcut, national expansion model, or venture-backed solution.

So instead of chasing scale, we prioritize land and animals first. Everything else flows from that. The beef, the chicken, the pork, the eggs—these are simply the proceeds of a healthy farm ecosystem. If we tried to push more output than the land could support, we’d break the very relationships we exist to heal. That’s why we stay small, local, and tightly focused. It’s the only way integrity survives.

2. Focused 100% on the Families Who Already Fund the Mission

There’s an uncomfortable truth in local food: most farms spend a lot of money trying to find new customers—ads, discounts, coupons, boosted posts, funnels. But that money comes from their current customers, the families already supporting the mission.

At Zoe Farms, we do the opposite. We spend exactly $0 on customer acquisition. No ads. No influencers. No coupon campaigns. No chasing growth for growth’s sake.

Why? Because using “marketing money” to chase strangers would mean using your food dollars to pursue people who have never once funded this mission. That makes no sense. Instead, we pour everything back into the land, the animals, the soil, and the families who are already here. Those who have believed in us from day one deserve the best of us, and that’s where our energy goes—not into bigger or broader, but into deeper.

Our Commitment: 100% Ohio Food for 100% Ohio Families

We aren’t trying to be everywhere or feed the country. We are committed—fully and unapologetically—to Ohio land, Ohio animals, Ohio soil, Ohio families, Ohio health, and Ohio food security. Real nourishment and real healing happen close to home.

Our customers are not buyers; they are patrons who directly fund this mission through their food choices. We honor that covenant by staying focused, staying small, and staying true.

We serve Ohio because the families who show up every week are worth serving with our whole hearts. And that will never change.
