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…Maple Producers of Northeast Ohio
The Maple Producers of Northeast Ohio is a collective of several maple producers in the Northeast Region…just as the name suggests. They are dedicated to the production of quality maple syrup products through education of the producers and public using proper forest management, stewardship, and the latest technology and techniques while preserving the maple heritage.
They host a drive-it-yourself maple tour every year featuring sugarhouses across northeast Ohio. This provides a firsthand look at how maple syrup and maple products are made and provides educational fun for the whole family. Last year 18 producers participated in the tour.
There are currently 16 producers/members and four dealers that belong to the Maple Producers of Northeast Ohio. You can see who they are and what they offer, learn more about Maple syrup, products, and production, forestation, the maple tour, recipes and much more by visiting their website. You can also find them on Facebook and Instagram.

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!
Labor has always been an issue, mainly because we are a seasonal operation. So that's a challenge finding somebody who only wants to work three months out of a year, sometimes up to six months.
I appreciate the benefit of having a strong voice in my corner. The extras that are included in membership are wonderful, but I'm a member because of the positive impact to my local and state agricultural communities.
I see the value and need to be engaged in the community I live in, to be a part of the decision-making process and to volunteer with organizations that help make our community better.
Farm Bureau involvement has taught me how to grow my professional and leadership experience outside of the workforce and how to do that in a community-centric way.
With not growing up on a farm, I’d say I was a late bloomer to agriculture. I feel so fortunate that I found the agriculture industry. There are so many opportunities for growth.
Knowing that horticulture is under the agriculture umbrella and having Farm Bureau supporting horticulture like it does the rest of ag is very important.
If it wasn't for Farm Bureau, I personally, along with many others, would not have had the opportunity to meet with our representatives face to face in Washington.
