The Sidedoor Farm
Kent, OH
Please note: This garden's July 8, 2023 Open Day has been moved at the owner's request. The garden is now opening on Saturday, August 19.
Six years ago, my husband and I began building a three-acre suburban homestead where, when possible, we have incorporated permaculture and food forest principles. Learning more each year, we now grow annual and perennial vegetables all from seed, along with a wide array of traditional and unusual fruits and nuts. Depending on the month, visitors may discover strawberries, asparagus, rhubarb, greens, blueberries, black and yellow raspberries, cherries, currants, peaches, hazelnuts, butternuts potatoes, onions, tomatoes, peppers, garlic, okra, beans, cabbage, squash, paw paw, sweet corn, goumi berries, sea buckthorn, blackberries, pears, apples, sunchoke, black walnut, and more. Flowers and herbs are integrated into the gardens to attract pollinators and spectators. More than 50 varieties of dahlias take center stage later in the summer and into fall. We are currently working on creating a native wildflower meadow. Soon to come is an Airbnb across the street with an open invitation to peruse the gardens. Sharing our passion is our joy! We look forward to welcoming you to The Side Door Farm soon.
