The 2018 schedule of cooking demonstrations for the Richland County Farm to Plate event series at the Shelby Farmers’ Market is available. Featured local chefs will prepare foods while sharing cooking tips and menu ideas to help maximize the use of seasonal, local foods. The program is provided at no cost to attendees. Cooking demonstrations, featuring items that can be found at the Farmer’s Market or through local sources, will occur at 10 a.m. on five Saturdays this summer:

June 16
June 23
July 21
July 28
Aug. 18

The program is brought to the community by Hazelgrove Farm Bureau Community Council and Richland County Farm Bureau. A host of partners, supporters and volunteers have joined together to provide this exciting program to link the growers of our local foods with local chefs and with consumers.

Taste testing, recipes and market money will be available. The Junior Chef division will be back this year, and there are new ideas that may get a gourmet chef into your kitchen!

This is a great opportunity to learn about and support our local food economy, and to be newly inspired to eat healthy and to eat fresh.

For more information “like” us on Facebook and stay tuned here at richland.ofbf.org.

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.

Farm Bureau connections
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.

I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.

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.
