We believe that people have the power to shape the world in which they live. And that when they’re given a place where they can work together, they have the ability to solve their own problems. Ohio Farm Bureau exists so people can put ideas into action and bring about a better, more secure way of life.

We believe growing food is a pursuit of happiness many Farm Bureau members do for a living, some do for fun and all know is essential. Farming is necessary work that instructs us about the natural world, inspires creativity, teaches responsibility and keeps families close.

We believe growing food in Ohio supports farms and connects us to our food. Whether it’s a trip to your local farmers market or one of Ohio’s 1,000 food processors, we’re all about homegrown.

We believe farmland makes our environment better. Farms provide us with a beautiful countryside, access to fresh local food and renewable energy--while at the same time contributing to one in seven jobs as Ohio’s largest industry.

We believe eating is inseparable from farming. The more we know about how our food is produced, the more satisfying it will be. Visit our education site, OurOhio.org for more.

We believe animal care issues should be addressed proactively and with common sense solutions. Members are focused on solutions, not shouting matches. Through Farm Bureau’s Center for Food and Animal Issues and the Animals for Life Foundation, members work in their communities to further promote the understanding of the human/animal bond.

To forge a partnership between farmers and consumers. This means advocating for Ohio’s farm families on issues that help them in business and, in turn, provide nonfarmers a wide variety of food choices.

Since 1919, Ohio Farm Bureau has worked to make Ohio a great place to call home, and it doesn’t matter if you’re a farmer who produces food or a customer who purchases it, there's a place for you in Farm Bureau.
