Long Days. Late Nights. One Less Thing to Worry About.
Harvest season is one of the busiest and most demanding times of year for our local farm families. Long hours in the fields, unpredictable weather, equipment challenges, and the pressure to get crops harvested can make finding time for even the simplest things a challenge.
And harvest doesn’t just happen in the fields.
Behind every busy harvest are spouses, parents, children, and other family members keeping things running at home, juggling schedules, running errands, and making sure everyone has something to eat.
Planning, preparing, packing, and delivering field-friendly meals can feel like a full-time job of its own!
This Friday, Farm Bureau wants to give one local farm family a little break!
Through our Harvest Kindness initiative, we’re treating one nominated local farm family or harvest crew to lunch for up to 10 people on Friday, Oct. 30, prepared by fellow Farm Bureau Group Member Sirna’s Farm Fresh Kitchen/Pizzeria.
As an added thank-you, if the selected farm is a Farm Bureau member, they’ll also receive a sweet treat for dessert, courtesy of Patterson Fruit Farms, another one of our group members.
No planning. No cooking. No packing lunches. Just a good meal and one less thing to worry about during harvest.
Know a Farm Family Who Could Use a Little Harvest Kindness?
We want to hear about them!
Nominate a local farm family or harvest crew that has been working long hours, supporting one another through a challenging harvest, or simply deserves a little appreciation for all they do.
Nomination Deadline: Thursday, October 29, at 5 p.m.
Lunch Provided: Friday, October 30
Meal: Lunch for up to 10 people
Help us remind our farmers and the families who support them that their hard work doesn’t go unnoticed.
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.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
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.
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.

Check in on each other
Check on your kids. Check on the friend who has been unusually quiet. Check on the farmer who hasn’t been at the coffee shop lately. Check on the person who is always the strong one for everyone else.
And when someone tells you they are struggling, listen.
