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