Our third Farm to Plate of 2017 will also feature our new youth division with chefs Chloe and Emma Mahek, 8-year-old twin sisters who will be in the third grade at Auburn Elementary this fall. They are the daughters of Mike and Angie Mahek and have two older sisters.

Chloe enjoys swimming at Seltzer pool and playing outside. Her favorite color is turquoise. Spicy foods are Chloe’s favorite!

Emma loves to play sports. She wants to be a famous softball player when she grows up. Her favorite color is hot pink. Emma would eat crepes with every meal if she could.

They both love to bake and create new recipes at home!

Chloe and Emma have teamed up with the Pioneer/Shelby Middle School Family Consumer Science Department to share a healthy recipe. They will be demonstrating how to prepare Easy Fruit Pizza – sugar cookie crust with cream cheese, apple jelly, and fresh fruits. Details will be shared at the event and can be found online.

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.

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.

I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.

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.
