Ohio ships a substaintable amount of vegetables during the summer and fall 
and volume is increasing. The Buckeye state has several major farming operations scattered around different regions shipping dozens of different types of vegetables ranging from squash to bell peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and beans.
Although shipments have started on some items, Ohio cranks up in July.
For example, cabbage and snap bean shipments area just starting, while items such as potatoes and sweet corn will get going by mid July.
The single most active area in the state with a handful of large shippers providing the most shipments, is located in central Ohio around small communities such as Willard and Plymouth.
However, there’s at least one significant vegetable shipping operation just Southwest of Akron in the eastern part of the state — at Hartville. There’s also a couple of vegetable operations in Northwest Ohio, not that far south of Detroit, MI – in towns such as Napoleon and Alvordton, OH.
