BRUNSWICK, OH- There is a new place to buy food products in Brunswick OH. Celeste Compola opened Pasture To Plate by Celeste to ensure that customers can get quality products that are grown 100% natural. “I started this journey after realizing that the food the grocery stores were selling us was not the same quality, texture or taste that I grew up with,” stated Celeste.
Pasture To Plate by Celeste, inside Brunswick’s Market 42, opened on October 17th, 2026. Compola sells meat, dairy, and pantry items which she gets from several local farms and vendors located in Ohio. Celeste said she chose Market 42 because “there was a need for it in the city and at the market. Brunswick residents asked for it and I knew I had something very special to bring.”
Celeste started to do a lot of research and ask questions to end up buying her own groceries from these same farms that provide the products for Pasture to Plate. She drove hours just to find quality food, which was inconvenient because of all the time and money put into it. It takes a lot to find farms that sell the right quality of food.
Celeste makes sure that her products aren’t filled with antibiotics, steroids, or growth hormones that could affect the way the food coming from that animal makes you feel. “I’ve personally noticed that I feel better, have more energy and get sick a whole lot less than I used to,” said Compola. Celeste also said that “It is a healthy choice for your family.”
Pasture To Plate by Celeste is open on Thursdays and Fridays from Noon-6:00pm and Saturday and Sunday from 10:00am-6:00pm. Pasture To Plate by Celeste is located in Market 42 at 2099 Pearl Road, Brunswick, Ohio.
