Restaurants that feature local products

A new addition to the Buying Local Directory at OurOhio.org is a listing of restaurants that offer local products on their menus. Restaurant owners who are members are invited to list their businesses on the Buying Local Directory; the enrollment form is available at OurOhio.org, click on “Resources” then “Register a Restaurant.” This is also an opportunity to invite these businesses to be a part of Farm Bureau so they can participate in this new member benefit.

Members who know teachers who should be receiving the newsletter should provide the teachers’ e-mail addresses to Judy Roush, jroush@ofbf.org or call (614) 246-8243.
