Every one of our members is unique and so are their stories. Each week, the Group Member Spotlight takes a behind-the-scenes look at one of our group/business sponsorship members to showcase their story of who they are and what they do!

Our Next Group Spotlight is……..

Kevin and Morgan Holy originally purchased their farm as a retirement horse property for Morgan’s show horse, Seldom Seen, in 2008. In 2013 the Holys started making syrup with 10 trees and a turkey fryer and fell in love with their new found hobby. Soon after, they made the move to turn that hobby into a business. Kevin and Morgan are first generation farmers with big dreams, and in 2021 the Holys became full time farmers with maple products being their main source of income. Kevin and Morgan and their two children, Chase and Cora, produce some of the world’s finest products and enjoy coming up with new product ideas for consumers all over the country.

As their business (in addition to maple) grew, they added more and more trees. Fast forward from making only 1 gallon of syrup in 2008 to now, they have thousands of maple trees and ship and distribute their products nationwide. Their turning point was in 2021 when they won Grand Champion maple producer for their traditional maple syrup and 2022 Grand Champion value added for their Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup at the Geauga County Maple Festival. 

Seldom Seen FarmYou can find a variety of products at Seldom Seen, ranging from custom glass and plastic containers of traditional maple syrup, bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup, bourbon bbq sauce, maple sugars, bourbon coffee beans, candies, and more. They also offer maple and forest consultations, as well as sugar house and maple tubing layout consultations. 

Seldom Seen is also looking to expand into a pick your own operation to include blueberries, strawberries and a peony patch with rare and unique varieties. 

Please visit them on their website, on Facebook, or on their farm.

The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.

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
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

Bringing the farm back to life
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.
