Welcome to Integration Acres - Specializing in Native Foods
Description
Integration Acres is a family owned business dedicated to providing delicous and interesting products that come from the farms and hills of southeastern Ohio. Our developing agricultural techniques take advantage of the many underused microclimates of our area, like fence rows and forest understory, to provide a wide array of biologically diverse crops
We try and work with native plants of our area. Because they grow so easily here, most people call them weeds. That means we don't have to spend so much energy tending to them. We are developing sophisticated ways of increasing production, but we are committed to natural and organic farming methods. You can trust that your purchase is a vote for sustainable agriculture and the family farm.
Back in the mid 1990's we decided to investigate this incredibly delicious and abundant wild fruit know to botanists as Asimina trilboa. Thanks to the internet and email we were able to discover that the pawpaw actually had a long history of use in our region. We discovered that the native cultures that once thrived in our region relied heavily upon pawpaw plantations that grew along the rivers they once traveled. We learned how the fronteirsmen and early explorers gained sustainance from this nutritious fruit. And we were excited to learn that there was actually a whole movement of scientists and farmers interested in bringing the pawpaw back into the diets of modern people.
