Buy Local Directory

We are excited for the 2023 release of our 3rd edition of the Ashtabula, Geauga, Lake, and Trumbull 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 of the Farm Bureau events throughout the year in each of the counties, including county fairs, annual meetings, trade shows, health fairs, and more. The directory will also be available online and will be mailed to  3,000+ Farm Bureau member families in Ashtabula, Geauga, Lake, and Trumbull counties.

Goods & Services Listings

Farm Bureau members in Ashtabula, Geauga, Lake, and Trumbull counties can list their
goods and services in the directory. The first three categories are FREE and additional
categories are $5 each. These listings are for Farm Bureau members only.

Advertising Space Available

These advertisements provide additional space to promote your business and are
available in quarter-page increments (¼ page, ½ page, or full page). Ad space is limited
and will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. You do not need to be a Farm Bureau member for paid advertising, however, Farm Bureau members save at least $100.

Local Business Member Benefit Opportunities

We are currently expanding our local member benefits program and are inviting you to participate by offering a local benefit to Farm Bureau Members from your business. The benefits are redeemable when members present their current Farm Bureau membership card. Some businesses offer a discount on every purchase ranging from 5% up to 30%. Others offer a buy-one, get-one program, or other promotions.

  • You set the benefit you are comfortable offering.
  • We will promote your business and the member benefit you provide.
  • There is no additional cost to participate!
Deadline is March 31

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
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.

Strong communities
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.
