COLUMBUS, Ohio (OFBF) - Young people ages 18 to 35 and their immediate families are invited to share and explore their interests in food production and technology during Ohio Farm Bureau Federation’s (OFBF) new Summer Reach Out series.

“This is a great volunteer- and schedule-friendly opportunity for young people to come together for a learning experience with their family and others who share their interests,” said OFBF Director of Volunteer Development Darrell Rubel.

Summer Reach Out events include:

  • Rustic Retreat, July 12 to 13, 11 a.m. to 9 a.m. – Camp overnight in Pike County and enjoy various activities, crafts and games at Long’s Retreat Family Resort in Latham. Farm Bureau will provide dinner Saturday night and breakfast Sunday morning. Electric hookups and tent and RV sites are available. Attendees are responsible for contacting the campground to reserve and pay for their own campsite. More information can be found at www.longsretreat.com. Registration deadline is June 27.

  • Down on the Farm with Bob Evans, Aug. 16, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. – Tour the original Bob Evans Farm in Rio Grande, complete with a cattle facility and the Bob Evans Homestead Museum. Bob Evans will sponsor a sausage patty dinner complete with bluegrass music. Registration deadline is Aug. 1.

    • Registration is a flat, total fee of $5 per event (for individuals as well as for the immediate family covered under a Farm Bureau membership), and all fees will be donated to Children’s Hunger Alliance and America’s Second Harvest.
