2023 Fayette County Farm to Fork

2023 Fayette County Farm to ForkThe annual Fayette County Farm Bureau’s Farm to Fork event was held July 8. This year the committee decided to bring this event to town to expand the reach of this event. The event was enjoyed by over 200 participants. The evening began with a Mix and Mingle portion. This allowed participants to connect with local producers and learn about ingredients that would later be used in the meal. Participants watched a demonstration on how to make butter and were welcomed to join in by creating their own butter boards at their tables. 

The celebrity chef contest was a big success again this year. Werner’s BBQ won the contest with their famous broccoli salad. Farm Bureau was able to serve a steak dinner to each guest as a result of an Ohio Beef Council grant. The night concluded with a silent auction to raise money for this year’s philanthropy partner Miami Trace FFA. All proceeds from this event will go toward the Miami Trace FFA Barn. 

Fayette County Farm Bureau looks forward to hosting this event again next year and hopes to reach an even larger audience. This allows the board to connect with a variety of people to advocate and share agriculture and Farm Bureau with participants!

The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

Farm Bureau connections
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.

Giving farmers a voice
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

Bringing the farm back to life
Because we are younger farmers just starting out, Farm Bureau has a lot of good opportunities and resources to help us grow in the future.

Farm Bureau involvement
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.

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.
