Kathleen Vallejos is a creative marketing professional and published author who brings energy, strategy and storytelling to everything she does. With years of experience working with farms, small businesses, and community organizations, she’s passionate about making local agriculture more visible and accessible through thoughtful media and outreach.
Her writing and communications work often bridges the gap between farmers and families, helping people connect more deeply with where their food comes from. As a Marketing and Media Associate for Central Ohio Farm Bureaus, Kathleen is excited to support members across four counties through shared stories, hands-on experiences, and making connections within the local community.
To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.
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.
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
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.
