Three Creeks Produce is a diversified organic farm near Columbus, Ohio that cultivates 5+ acres of certified organic vegetables, herbs, and more. Our customers are restaurants (both independent and regional chains), institutions, specialty grocers, food hubs, and a CSA. We do not operate a farmstand or participate in a farmers market.

We are a perfect place for early career farmers to develop skills and experience on a production-oriented operation, but one that maintains small farm vibes through a tight-knit crew and our urban/suburban setting. We are looking for folks that want to grow with us in every sense of the word!
