Thank you to Learning 4 Life Farm for being a 2022 Sponsor of Licking County Farm Bureau!

Learning 4 Life Farm was founded in 2019 as a 501 c3 nonprofit organization to help make a difference in the lives of young adults and teens on the autism spectrum. This program allows the participants to learn transition life skills, job skills, care for alpacas, tend to gardens, and beekeeping. They also offer a job placement program to students to help get them working in the community. 

The hands-on training that is provided in both the gardening and the beekeeping program has had such a positive impact on the students. The bee program allows the students to work with Beekeeper Bob and help with important tasks. These tasks include using the smoker to keep the bees calm, feeding the bees, extracting the honey, and more. In the gardens, the students get to learn job and life skills, science education, and informal horticultural therapy. The gardens include a variety of herbs, vegetables, and flowers. There is also a rain garden that features native Ohio plants. The students enjoy both of these programs and have found them very beneficial.

Giving farmers a voice
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.

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.

Select Partner Program
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.

Advocacy
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.
