Join us for a look inside how David Andre with GoZERO Services, Food Waste Compost Courier at Headwater Farm of Zanesfield, is working to establish his composting operation. This tour will be an educational opportunity to learn about turning food waste into agricultural compost.
The tour is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the importance of composting in our community. It will also show how composting can be better recognized and regulated as an agricultural activity while maintaining appropriate safeguards that encourage healthy growth.
The tour will start at Head Water Farms, which is working to grow in the field of food waste composting, and then move to Andre Farms Composting Operation outside Wauseon. The In 1992, the Andre family started collecting local municipal yard waste and nearby dairy manure surpluses to develop one of the nation’s leading composting facilities, which can handle yard, agricultural, animal, and food waste. Today, the Ohio EPA has licensed it as a Class 2 composting facility and monitors it to help ensure premium fertility compost leaves the site with the plant nutrition of topsoil, which can be used as a substitute for traditionally manufactured petroleum-based fertilizers.

We hope you will join us for a deep dive into agriculture composting with the Logan County Farm Bureau and Headwater Farms. If you are interested in attending, RSVP here.
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.
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
We really appreciate what Farm Bureau has done to get people interested in this line of work and workforce development and getting people interested in this industry.
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.
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.
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.
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.
