Lake County Farm Bureau hosted a successful Farm Power Days event June 3 at Working Traditions Farm in Painesville. Approximately 150 were in attendance at the third annual gathering to experience free family friendly activities, including pony rides, horse-drawn wagon rides, a petting zoo, prizes and free lunch.
“The event pulls in a large group of people from the community who have no agricultural background,” said Lake County Organization Director Mandy Orahood. “They love the family and farm atmosphere.”
Farm Power Days provides a perfect setting to introduce Farm Bureau to potential members and to build new relationships in the community. Guests have the opportunity to interact with and ask questions of farmers and members who have a passion for the organization.
An added member benefit this year included a members-only after party and barbecue. Those who signed up for a membership at Farm Power Days were welcomed to stay for the party which featured food from J & J Catering, the exclusive caterer for Lake Metroparks Farmpark.
Nearly 50 were in attendance for the private after party, including three new members and several Young Ag Professionals. The night ended with a bonfire, s’mores and games.

The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.
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.
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
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.
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.
