Hi! We’re Levi and Krysti Morrow from Morgan County for today’s #TakeOverTuesday. Together we own and operate Rocky Knob Farms in McConnelsville. Levi works off the farm as one of two agriculture education teachers at Morgan High School and Krysti manages day-to-day operations on the farm and takes care of our son Charlie. We grow strawberries and pumpkins for U-Pick customers and wholesale and are just getting into commercial hair sheep. . . #TakeOverTuesday this week is with Rocky Knob Farms in Morgan County.

Spring time is busy on every farm but for us it’s not planting – we’re getting ready to harvest our first crop. Our strawberries start ripening for picking in the first two weeks of May and will continue through early June. We sell the majority of our berries on the farm to customers who come to pick their own. What isn’t sold “in the field” is either wholesaled at our local produce auction or frozen for jam. There’s just nothing quite like a fresh strawberry! . . #TakeOverTuesday this week is with Rocky Knob Farms in Morgan County.

We are learning a lot about sheep production! We have a commercial flock of Katahdin x Dorper hair sheep. They’re often confused with goats by our U-Pick customers but it’s a fun conversation starter. Instead of growing wool like a traditional sheep they shed their hair in late spring like a dog. . . #TakeOverTuesday this week is with Rocky Knob Farms in Morgan County.

Fall is another busy time for us, our second U-Pick season of the year, pumpkins! We started our farm in 2016 with a small pumpkin patch and corn maze. It’s grown a little bit every year and we love getting to see kids light up when they find the perfect pumpkin or funniest gourd in the field. . . #TakeOverTuesday this week is with Rocky Knob Farms in Morgan County.

At the end of pumpkin season, any left over pumpkins are fed to our sheep and family’s cows. They eat them up like candy – rind and all – it’s amazing! No waste around here. . . #TakeOverTuesday this week is with Rocky Knob Farms in Morgan County.

We love raising our son, Charlie, in this lifestyle. There is such value in knowing where your food comes from and how it’s made and we hope that we can continue to share that with our customers who come to the farm.

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

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.

Giving farmers a voice
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

Bringing the farm back to life
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.
