We are thankful for the service of our members who serve on the Delaware County board of trustees.

Jill Davis resides in Delaware and is originally from Port Clinton. She is a partner at Gar-Mar Farms, founded Fresh 4 You Farm Market in 2020, and has been the Concord Township fiscal officer since 2006. Jill’s favorite part of being on the board is promoting agriculture in our local community. She has ridden, shown, and/or raised horses since age 6, and was a 4-H advisor for 25+ years.

Kate Hornyak is Delaware County OSU Extension program coordinator. Throughout her time in Delaware, she is pursuing her master’s degree in agricultural and Extension Education. This will allow her to focus on her personal development toward her future goals of becoming a better communicator, and leader for the Delaware County Extension office. She currently lives away from her family farm in Geauga County, but spends a lot of time traveling to Chardon and running the farm alongside her brother, Evan Hornyak. They plan to expand the agricultural tourism side of the business.

“This is something I am very passionate about because I love families to be able to experience the way a farm operates when they visit. Being in this wonderful production over the years has opened my eyes, allowing me to see that not everyone is as fortunate as I am. By being in agriculture, I can now lead in my community and teach the next generation about this outstanding industry we are a part of.”
