Canned chicken

This week, Montgomery County Farm Bureau donated 60 chickens to CAMP. The Community Action Mission Program serves residents in Farmersville, Germantown, and New Lebanon. CAMP has been in operation since 1998, and continues to bless our neighbors throughout the year with food, emergency financial assistance, and warm coats. All the activities of CAMP are supported by generous donations of time, resources, and money from the community. High school students will help box up the chickens along with other holiday meal essentials like stuffing, green beans, corn, and a delicious chicken recipe (pictured below). 

If you, or someone you know, could benefit from this community resource, please visit CAMP’s page to learn more. 

A special THANK YOU to McGuire Family Farms for their second year of offering locally grown chickens! 

McGuire Family Farms, established in 1992, is a sustainable farm that takes pride in preserving the land and resources. All the animals are humanely raised, all natural, with no antibiotics, or growth hormones. Those who are interested in their products can buy directly from them through their website. 

 

Farm Labor Resources
Labor has always been an issue, mainly because we are a seasonal operation. So that's a challenge finding somebody who only wants to work three months out of a year, sometimes up to six months.

Strong communities
I appreciate the benefit of having a strong voice in my corner. The extras that are included in membership are wonderful, but I'm a member because of the positive impact to my local and state agricultural communities.

I see the value and need to be engaged in the community I live in, to be a part of the decision-making process and to volunteer with organizations that help make our community better.

Young Ag Professionals program
Farm Bureau involvement has taught me how to grow my professional and leadership experience outside of the workforce and how to do that in a community-centric way.

Growing our Generation
With not growing up on a farm, I’d say I was a late bloomer to agriculture. I feel so fortunate that I found the agriculture industry. There are so many opportunities for growth.

Knowing that horticulture is under the agriculture umbrella and having Farm Bureau supporting horticulture like it does the rest of ag is very important.

If it wasn't for Farm Bureau, I personally, along with many others, would not have had the opportunity to meet with our representatives face to face in Washington.

Advocacy
So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
