Don’t forget to water your plants during the heat
As a general rule of thumb, an inch of rain each week during the summer is needed for most plants.

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.
You 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.

If you or your business is interested in becoming a group member or sponsor of Geauga County Farm Bureau events and programming visit our website or email.
By being a group sponsor of your county Farm Bureau you help us continue to protect the future of agriculture, promote Ohio agriculture and support local youth!
My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.
We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
It wasn’t until I joined the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau that I truly saw how my passion could translate into leadership, advocacy and a career.
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.
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.
