Delaware County Farm Bureau is proud to announce that the 3rd Annual Benefit in the Barn, a symphony on the farm, raised a total of $38,000 to help fight hunger. Over 700 people came out to support this worthy cause and enjoyed a wonderful evening of delicious food and music by the Central Ohio Symphony. All ticket sales
and net proceeds donated went to directly support central Ohio hunger programs and feed hungry neighbors in the community.
Delaware County Farm Bureau is committed to working with community partners to alleviate food insecurity and highlighting the needs of those who struggle getting enough to eat. Food insecurity is a problem in both rural and urban communities and affected families often rely on food pantries and hunger programs to help put food on the table. Through a key partnership with the United Way of Delaware County, this event is able to have an overwhelmingly positive impact for many at-risk families.
Delaware County Farm Bureau wishes to thank Doug and Cathy Dawson who graciously hosted the event. Thanks are extended to the many sponsors, volunteers and those who purchased tickets and who were in attendance. Through the support of City BBQ, the Delaware County Foundation and Performance Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, the Delaware County Farm Bureau was able to donate all net proceeds to the Hunger Alliance of Delaware County.
This year’s event will be held Saturday, Aug. 18, 2018 at the beautiful farm of Jim Rodman, located at 5530 Radnor Road in Radnor. In addition to the Central Ohio Symphony, the Delaware Hayes Symphonic Chorus will also be performing. More information will be available in the coming months.
Labor has always been an issue, mainly because we are a seasonal operation. So that's a challenge finding somebody who only wants to work three months out of a year, sometimes up to six months.
I appreciate the benefit of having a strong voice in my corner. The extras that are included in membership are wonderful, but I'm a member because of the positive impact to my local and state agricultural communities.
I see the value and need to be engaged in the community I live in, to be a part of the decision-making process and to volunteer with organizations that help make our community better.
Farm Bureau involvement has taught me how to grow my professional and leadership experience outside of the workforce and how to do that in a community-centric way.
With not growing up on a farm, I’d say I was a late bloomer to agriculture. I feel so fortunate that I found the agriculture industry. There are so many opportunities for growth.
Knowing that horticulture is under the agriculture umbrella and having Farm Bureau supporting horticulture like it does the rest of ag is very important.
If it wasn't for Farm Bureau, I personally, along with many others, would not have had the opportunity to meet with our representatives face to face in Washington.
