JOHNSTOWN, Ohio — Business is booming for one small egg farm in Central Ohio.
Copia Farm is located in Johnstown just outside of Columbus. The regenerative farm is home to about 3,000 chickens on pasture.
Husband and wife Dan McLeod and Caitlin Bergman own and manage the farm.
They said their business has increased by about 300 percent since the pandemic hit, and they believe it’s because people want to see where their food comes from and know how it’s produced.
“With COVID, the challenge has actually been meeting the demand that has just sprouted overnight and has been such a tremendous demand. It really caught us off guard because we were at the end of the winter season and working through all of the pork from the last summer season and then so everybody is coming out of the woodwork and wants all this product, so it’s a real scramble to meet those demands,” Bergman said.
You can find Copia eggs at select markets throughout Central Ohio. McLeod and Bergman also sell a variety of products at their store in Johnstown and are set to have another location at the North Market Bridge Park in Dublin.
