A $5,000 contribution from North High Brewing to the Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation expands a unique partnership between two organizations with shared values.
The North High Brewing/Farm Bureau relationship began last year when the two partnered on the release of Cover Crop beer, created to help celebrate Ohio Farm Bureau’s 100th anniversary. The beer features locally grown farm products, which was a priority for both organizations. It has enjoyed great acceptance by both craft beer enthusiasts and Ohio’s farm community with its popularity far exceeding expectations.
The beer’s name was chosen to reflect the two organizations’ commitment to nature. The term Cover Crop honors the revival of a farming practice that sustains the land and its surrounding environment.
According to Jason McKibben, brewmaster at North High Brewing, “Every brewery in Ohio uses Ohio water and the largest ingredient in every beer is water. High quality beer can only be made with high quality water. It is with these facts in mind that North High Brewing is making a contribution to the Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation in support of its environmental stewardship and conservation initiatives. Ohio farmers across the state have made great strides to minimize their impact on the Ohio waterways and we endorse their continued efforts.”
Improving the environment is one of the Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation’s priority goals. North High Brewing’s contribution will support the Foundation’s Healthy Water Ohio Fund. “The generosity of our friends at North High Brewing will help accomplish our mission,” said Chris Baker, executive director of the Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation.

My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.
We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
It wasn’t until I joined the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau that I truly saw how my passion could translate into leadership, advocacy and a career.
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.
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.
