Alyssa Zdobinsk

Alyssa Zdobinski has been a Farm Bureau member for two years and now serves on the Preble County board of trustees. Her hope is to “see more agricultural classes and programs, especially in urban high schools. This would allow people to understand where their food comes from and debunk many of the negative accusations towards our industry. Classes could teach students about urban agriculture and how to grow their own food.”

While growing up, Alyssa said animals were always around and she was heavily involved in 4-H and FFA. She remembers going to Farm Bureau meetings with her parents for as long as she can remember. Once graduating, Zdobinski became an involved member in Farm Bureau and her community. 

In 2016 Alyssa’s family opened Olde Schoolhouse Vineyard & Winery, where she cares for the 2 acres of grapes year-round. They worked to transform the old pasture into a vineyard with 1,000 grape vines. 

Alyssa’s connection to agriculture runs deep and she is working diligently to involve her neighbors in Preble County.
