Yellow Springs Farm founder-owners Catherine & Al Renzi believe in connecting sustainable landscapes to sustainable food systems. The farm and nursery include an historic 19th century farmhouse, dairy barn, and a pond with spring house on eight acres of land. Originally a cow dairy farm over 150 years ago, the Renzi's purchased the farm in 2001 - protecting it from future development with a conservation easement.
After purchasing our property in 2001, we wanted to change and restore the landscape on our own land, but were limited by the lack of native plants available for sale locally. Our native plant propagation, sales, and landscape service offerings was born from our own need and passion for land conservation.
Our consulting and naturalistic design services for homeowners and businesses emphasize an environmentally-friendly approach to design, plant selection and maintenance with the goals of providing wildlife habitat, improved soils and air quality and less surface water run-off, all for a better quality of life.

The cheese from Yellow Springs Farm is the best I've had from a local producer. They clearly care for their product and process. On top of that, the owners are supremely friendly and customer-service oriented. They are quick with correspondence and refreshingly positive! I will certainly continue seeking out their cheese and plants.

My daughter fed a 4 week old baby goat which completely made her day. The owners and cheese makers were super friendly and welcoming. They had a great selection of plants and my friend said their cheese was really really tasty. Highly recommend a visit. Oh, their dog Rosco.... Was also very friendly and welcoming.
