Spring Fling Grow and Know event
A fun time was had by all at the recent “Spring Fling” Grow and Know event.
Nearly 50 people attended to learn more about lamb and lamb cookery from Nick and Kathy Forrest, topped off with a sample tasting of the lamb dishes they prepared!
Participants then either painted a birdhouse or made a natural fairy garden type birdhouse.
Robin Schuckman of Grove City gave background information and instructions on how she got started painting them and Lisa Biales of Oxford was the instructor for the fairy birdhouses.
The event was held at the Collinsville Community Center and was hosted and organized by Lynn Eisele, Bev Foutz, and Kathy Carmack. Thank you to the volunteers that make these events possible!

I'm eternally grateful for the support Ohio Farm Bureau scholarships provided in helping me turn my dreams into reality.
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.
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.
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.
