Gallia County Farm Bureau, Gallia SWCD, Gallia County OSU Extension host Cottage Food Workshop

Gallia County Farm Bureau, Gallia SWCD, and Gallia OSU Extension hosted a Cottage Food Workshop April 3 at the Gallia County Ag Center meeting room.

The workshop started off with lunch and an introduction of those helping to facilitate the meeting. The floor was then turned over to Emily Marrison from OSU Extension in Coshocton County, who talked about Cottage Law, what can and can’t be produced and sold out of your home along with the reasons why! Once Marrison concluded her portion of the meeting, she turned the floor over to Josh Sherwood and Jacob Morris with the Gallia County Health Department to answer any of the local-based questions. A Q&A session was held between those who attended and the three speakers to follow up with any other questions.

It was a great event with 24 individuals in attendance!

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.

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.

Giving farmers a voice
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.
