We are excited for the 2023 release of our 2nd edition of the Cuyahoga, Erie, Huron and Lorain Counties Buying Local Directory. This directory will not only benefit the residents by providing them with contacts for locally sourced goods and services, but it opens up a valuable marketing tool for you and allows us to provide our members an additional member benefit.

The directories will be distributed at all Farm Bureau events throughout the year in each of the counties, including annual meetings and other events. The directory will also be mailed to approximately 5,000+ Farm Bureau member families in Erie, Huron, Lorain and Cuyahoga counties.
