The Clermont County Farm Bureau, Eastside Agricultural Collective and Clermont County Convention and Visitors Bureau hosted a self-guided farm tour on Saturday, Oct. 2.

Eight diverse farms and markets opened their gates and doors for the public to experience local agriculture firsthand. They took this opportunity to meet local farmers, taste farm-fresh food, learn stewardship and farm skills from experts, and explore the fields of local farms.

Farms that participated in this event were:

Many Clermont County Farm Bureau members were able to showcase the products and services that they offer to the public eye and educate them on agriculture. In reflection, Flourish and Roam farm owners Josh and Sarah Ison said, “We were blown away by the number of people who came down the driveway today wanting to connect with a farmer and ask genuine questions. It lights a fire in our souls and fuels our passion for connecting with people while raising regeneratively raised meats.” 

Overall, it was a great day to throw on your favorite fall outfit, pull up your boots, pack a cooler and the camera! This was an adventure that is sure to be looked back on with fond memories.

To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.

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
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

Bringing the farm back to life
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.
