Your 2023 Buying Local Directory

The Buying Local Directory is an invaluable community resource connecting us to local goods and services. The directory will be distributed at all Farm Bureau events throughout the year in each of the counties, including county fairs, annual meetings, local outreach programs, Farm Bureau Days, and more! It will be available online as well and will also be mailed to approximately 3,500 Farm Bureau member families in Champaign, Clark, Darke, and Miami counties.

Goods and services listings: Farm Bureau members in Champaign, Clark, Darke and Miami Counties can list their goods and services in the directory. The first three categories are FREE, with additional categories being just $5 each. These listings are for Farm Bureau members only.

Paid advertising spaces: These advertisements provide additional space to promote your business and are available in quarter page increments (1⁄4 page, 1⁄2 page or full page). Ad space is limited and will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. 

Local Member Benefits Opportunities

As part of the benefit of being a Farm Bureau member in Champaign, Clark, Darke and Miami counties, the organization offers its members national, state and local discount programs. At the national and state levels, the discounts include hotel savings, equipment discounts, etc.

Local member discounts: At the local level, Farm Bureau members can receive discounts and other benefits from local restaurants, stores, theaters, events, businesses and more.

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
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.
