Feast on the Farm

Sept. 11, 2021
6:30 p.m.

Winner’s Meats 2259 OH-502 Greenville, Ohio 45331

Darke County Farm Bureau has been bringing people together for 100 years and believes in opportunities for the next generation. Therefore, Farm Bureau is proud to be hosting a farm to table dinner again this year! Feast on the Farm will highlight independently owned businesses, draw attention to the importance of local farms, and promote the flourishing agritourism industry in our county. We are excited for this initiative where all net proceeds will benefit Darke County FFA Chapters.

If you would like to be a sponsor for the Feast on the Farm Event, click here for the form. Once the form is filled out it can be mailed to our office (1554 McKaig Ave. Building B Troy, Ohio 45373) with the payment, or you can email it to [email protected] and call our office with payment at 937-335-1471.

Tickets are $30 per individual or $50 per couple and can be purchased online or by calling the Farm Bureau office.

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
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

Finding farm labor
We work terrifically with the Ashtabula County Farm Bureau, hosting at least one to two outreach town hall events every year to educate new farmers and existing farmers on traditional CAUV and woodlands.

CAUV: Past, present and future
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.
