The Wayne County Farm Bureau is now accepting submissions for the 2021 Wayne County Buy Local Directory. There is no cost to have a business included in the directory, but business owner must be a current Wayne County Farm Bureau member. Farm Bureau plans to print and distribute over 1600 free copies throughout Wayne County by mail to every member, as well as offering them at local events and placing them at local businesses. More will be ordered and distributed as needed. The directory will also be available on the county Farm Bureau website. The booklet features any goods/services that are provided by members. The products do not need to be only agricultural!
To be added to the Buy Local Directory or to amend your company’s current directory information, complete the Wayne Buy Local Application and mail to the county Farm Bureau office (377 West Liberty Street
Wooster, OH 44691) OR you can email the completed form to [email protected].
