Whenever possible, I believe in buying my flowers, plants and fruit from local farms.  Here are a few of my favorites in northeast Ohio:

Berry's Blooms
Farmer: Teri Berry
2060 Granger Road
Medina, OH 44256
(330) 239-2993

Notes: Teri grows organic local blooms year round and the quality is spectacular.  That is Teri holding the gorgeous bunch of pink ranunculus shown in the photo to the right.

Eddy's Fruit Farm
12079 Caves Road
Chesterland, OH 44026
(440) 729-7842

Notes: I love to use the concord grapes in my fall arrangements and the apples, peaches and plums are right at home with roses, peonies or any other lovely flower you want to pair them with.
