6th Annual Breakfast with Santa

The Jackson-Vinton Farm Bureau held its 6th Annual Breakfast with Santa event Sunday, Dec. 10 at the Jackson County Fairgrounds. The event was free to the public and featured live animals, Santa and his carriage, Mrs. Claus, and the Grinch. Upon arrival, the Grinch met the attendees. Then families received a free breakfast of pancakes, sausage, and milk, while visiting Mrs. Claus and the Grinch in the 4-H building. After finishing breakfast, a reindeer food station was available for children to make their own reindeer food to put out on Christmas Eve. After a short walk down to the barns, families were able to pet all of the animals. As they approached Santa, they were able to get a picture taken with him and his carriage.

There were so many smiling faces and lots of community support for the Jackson-Vinton Farm Bureau Breakfast with Santa at the fairgrounds! We truly appreciate all of our FFA kids, local businesses that donated, animal exhibitors, and all of our Farm Bureau volunteers! Without you all, this free event for our community would not be possible! To see more photos from this event visit our Facebook page.

The Jackson-Vinton Farm Bureau board would like to thank the following farms and businesses. Without their continued support, this event would not be possible:

Jackson County Senior Fair Board, United Dairy of West Virginia, Joel Wood: Infinity Insurance Solutions, Jerry’s Jamestown Market, Virgil Hamilton Insurance, Tina Steel McKee Photographer, LaRosa’s Pizzeria, Grundy Hill Farm, Jones-Stephens Insurance, McDonalds of Jackson, Wellston, Oak Hill & McArthur, A&A Truckstop, Mary Ball, Ohio Valley Bank, Valley View Farms, Oak Hill FFA, Jackson FFA, Wellston FFA, Jackson Elks Lodge #466, Mary Riegel and Tara Riley, Corbett R Caudill Chipping, Jackson Ag Service, and Atomic Credit Union. 

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

Finding farm labor
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.

Strong communities
We work terrifically with the Ashtabula County Farm Bureau, hosting at least one to two outreach town hall events every year to educate new farmers and existing farmers on traditional CAUV and woodlands.

CAUV: Past, present and future
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.
