Rooted in stewardship. Raised with intention.

Yellow Springs Provisions is a family-owned farm in Yellow Springs, Ohio, built by two families with different backgrounds and a shared conviction about what agriculture can be. The Coppocks brought hard-won experience with livestock and land. The DeLaceys, business owners with roots in Yellow Springs, recognized that the Coppocks were building a commitment to the land, the animals, and the community around them. 

For us, farming is about more than producing food. It is about building something that lasts: a healthy farm, healthy soil, healthy animals, and a stronger local food system for the generations that come after us.

Our story.

The Coppocks bring decades of experience to this farm and a practical understanding of responsible land management. They began by raising cattle and learning, season by season, what it means to treat land not as a resource to spend but as something to steward. The movement of grazing animals across a landscape creates recurring periods of use and recovery: animals graze, move on, and return nutrients to the soil as they go. 

The DeLaceys arrived from a different starting point, recognized what was taking shape here, and joined it. Today each family brings something distinct. The Coppocks bring the daily craft of livestock and land. The DeLaceys have roots in Yellow Springs and bring an outside perspective and a conviction that farms like this are essential to a healthy community. 

We measure and adapt because weather, soil, and seasons have the final word. Soil health supports nutritious forage and healthy livestock, which contribute to the quality of our food. The food is not separate from the land. It is one of the land’s outcomes.

It all started with beef.

Cattle have an important place on a well-managed farm.

When cattle are raised on pasture and moved intentionally from one area to another, they can do much more than simply provide food. Their grazing can stimulate plant growth, return nutrients to the soil, and help build healthier pastures.

We do not think of our cattle as separate from the land. The health of our animals and the health of our soil are connected.

We raise our cattle on pasture and rotationally graze them, giving each area of pasture time to recover before the cattle return. We're continually learning how to improve our grazing management and how to work with the land rather than simply taking from it.

We don't use added hormones or antibiotics in raising our cattle. More importantly, we focus on creating an environment where our animals can thrive: plenty of pasture, thoughtful grazing management, and attentive care from the people responsible for them.

We do not claim to have it figured out. Farming is observation, adjustment, and the discipline to do better each season.

Meet the team.

We believe everything we do begins with the land. Healthy soil grows healthy grass, healthy grass feeds healthy animals, and healthy animals nourish your family. Every family we feed helps sustain a healthier community, ours in Yellow Springs and yours wherever our animals find you. It's a simple circle, and caring for it is our life's work. We're grateful to share it with you.

What began as two families feeding their own families well has grown into a commitment to provide the same food to our neighbors.

    CO-OWNERS & HEAD FARMERS

    Logan and Olivia are lifelong locals, high school sweethearts, and first-generation farmers raising their young family in the community they call home. "Farming wasn't something we inherited. It grew from a desire to raise healthy animals and produce food we felt good about feeding our own family. We believe we have been entrusted with something valuable, and that responsibility shapes every decision we make. Above all, our goal is to glorify God through our work and to steward these gifts with gratitude, humility, and integrity."

    OPERATIONS MANAGER & ACCOUNTANT

    Shannon grew up in rural Oregon, so life on the farm feels right at home. As operations manager and accountant, she helps keep Yellow Springs Provisions organized, compliant, and moving forward while overseeing the details behind the scenes. She loves the variety of her role and the fact that every day brings something new to learn, solve, or build.

    In early 2026, after some deep reflection and solid support from his wife, Roland traded a chef coat and the restaurant life he had known for over 20 years to join the team here at the farm and supporting our operation. You can usually find him around the farm answering questions, shipping products to the customers who don't live close enough to visit, or walking the pastures with his adventurous kiddos. 

Soil farmers.

Healthy food starts with healthy soil. 

Regenerative farming, to us, isn't simply a list of practices or a label. It's a way of thinking. We believe some of the most important work happening on a farm isn't always what you can see at first glance. Beneath the pasture is an entire ecosystem of roots, microorganisms, fungi, insects, and organic matter working together. 

Well-managed grazing can be one piece of building that system. 

By moving cattle intentionally and allowing pasture adequate recovery time, we work to encourage deeper roots, stronger plants, and healthier soil. Those healthy pastures can help hold water, cycle nutrients, and keep living roots in the ground. 

We pay attention to the condition of our soil, the health of our pastures, the water cycle, and the way our animals interact with the land. We're passionate about this because we don't want to simply maintain the land we've been entrusted with. We want to leave it better.

Our why.

Farming is hard work. Early mornings, long days, unpredictable weather, broken fences, muddy boots, and plenty of things that don't go according to plan. But there is also something deeply rewarding about caring for animals, watching pasture come back to life, harvesting food you've helped produce, and knowing that the work you're doing has a purpose beyond yourself. 

For both of our families, this farm represents something bigger than a business. It is a chance to build something together: to care for the land, raise animals well, feed our neighbors, and protect the next generation. 

We feel a responsibility to be good stewards of what we've been given: to care for our animals, improve the soil, protect farmland, and serve our neighbors well.

Our hope is that Yellow Springs Provisions will be more than a farm that produces good beef. We want it to be a farm that brings people together around a shared purpose, contributes something good to our community, and leaves the land better for the next generation. 

Our partnerships.

Protecting the Land for Generations to Come

Caring for land means thinking past your own generation. With Tecumseh Land Trust, a local nonprofit that protects farmland and natural areas, we have placed a perpetual conservation easement on the farmland that makes up Yellow Springs Provisions. The easement permanently protects the land from development and keeps it available for agriculture for future generations.

This means the land is protected from future residential and commercial development and will remain available for agriculture indefinitely. 

For us, this partnership is about more than preserving a farm: it’s about protecting the health and productivity of the land itself. The conservation easement helps safeguard the farm’s soils, water resources, open spaces, and natural beauty while ensuring that this land can continue to be farmed for generations to come. 

As farmers, we feel a responsibility to be good stewards of the land entrusted to us. Partnering with Tecumseh Land Trust gives us the opportunity to make that commitment. Long after we are gone, this ground will remain farmland: a place where agriculture can continue and future generations can farm. 

We’re grateful to be part of a community that values local agriculture and recognizes that protecting farmland today is an investment in the future of our region.

Growing Better Land Together

We’re proud to partner with Agraria, a cornerstone of the Yellow Springs community and an organization deeply committed to the future of local agriculture, land stewardship, and our community.

Today, our cattle rotationally graze pasture at Agraria, allowing us to work together toward a shared goal: regenerating the land while raising healthy, well-cared-for cattle. 

We’re especially grateful for the opportunity to care for land that is such an important part of the Yellow Springs community. Agraria has been a pillar in our community, creating space for people to connect with agriculture, the land, and one another. Our partnership allows us to contribute to that work in a meaningful way while continuing to learn and grow as stewards of the land.

We’re thankful to Agraria for trusting us with their pasture and for giving our cattle a place to play a part in regenerating the soil for years to come.
