Lawrence County Farm Bureau hosts 2nd Annual Farm to Fork

Lawrence  Farm Bureau hosted the 2nd Annual Farm to Fork event Aug. 22, 2024 at The Hay Loft in Kitts Hill.  

The Farm to Fork dinner was held to raise money for the Lawrence County Impact Fund. The fund allows the Lawrence County Farm Bureau board the opportunity to take Ag Literacy Kits into each of the county’s elementary schools, along with offering  two $250 teacher scholarships. 

On the night of Aug. 22, our dinner was all sourced from southeast Ohio and made into a tasty dinner by Chef Heidi Clark of Spice of Life Catering. Special music was played by Cole Gannon. Our guest speakers for the night were Mrs. Becky McCLelland, third grade teacher at Chesapeake Elementary, and two of her students, Ethan and Chase. The three of them were able to talk about the teacher grant they received in the last school year and what they were able to grow and learn in their hydroponic system! A silent auction was held to aid in raising more money for the impact fund. 

Without the help of our various sponsors and donations the night would not have been nearly as successful!
