Sarah Bolte is the owner and operator of Arlington Acres, a northwest Ohio barn wedding venue and pumpkin farm.
A graduate of The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences with a degree in agribusiness and applied economics, Bolte started her career working in politics at the Ohio House of Representatives and then in campaign finance for the Ohio Senate, the Ohio Auditor of State as well as congressional and PAC campaigns.
In 2019 Sarah and her husband, John, ventured into the agritourism sphere when they hosted a wedding for a co-worker in the old barn on their family farm. In 2020 they renovated the 1870’s barn on their property and since then have hosted over 100+ weddings for couples through Ohio, Michigan, and all over the United States.
She is actively involved in the Ohio Farm Bureau, serves on the Seneca County Central Committee and is member of the Seneca County Young Professionals, Seneca County Republican Women and St. Mary’s Church.
Sarah and John, along with their three little girls, live in Tiffin on their family grain and livestock farm.
“As a small business owner in agriculture, Farm Bureau has given me the tools I need to successfully run my business and stayed ahead of the game lobbying on my behalf both in Columbus and Washington, D.C.” – Sarah Bolte

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.
