Farm to Table
Meet Ohio farmers, try delicious recipes and discover how Farm Bureau members are working to keep our tables full and communities strong. Throughout the state, agriculture is a critical part of Ohio’s economy and touches our lives every day.
Did you know that one in every eight Ohioans is connected to farming or production in some way? Many of our members, especially our Young Agricultural Professionals, are part-time farmers, who can be found everywhere from classrooms and veterinary offices to state parks and food processing companies. Ohio Farm Bureau is constantly adapting to support the changing needs of agriculture across our state. In addition to traditional operations, agriculture in Ohio is diverse. Our members include niche farming, such as producers of hops and Ohio maple syrup, to agribusiness professionals in trucking, biofuels, farm lending and more.
As the landscape continues to evolve, it’s an exciting time to be involved in agriculture in Ohio. Farm Bureau is committed to supporting the next generation of farmers and helping our members succeed, just as we have been doing for the past hundred years.
We work together to help people, families and neighbors get things done to build stronger communities, protect farms and support local foods. Explore the ways that Ohio Farm Bureau is working from farm to table through our stories in Our Ohio, subscribe to the Our Ohio e-newsletter and discover what’s in season for your next trip to the farmers market.

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.
