Farmers Feed Our Needs Carrot Harvest for the Hungry

Ohio Farm Bureau Federation Through the efforts of some northwest Ohio farmers and help from local volunteers and Ohio Farm Bureau, there's hope that fewer Ohioan will go hungry this holiday season. Check out how we're helping donate 102 tons of carrots to food banks throughout the state!

Farmers Feed Our Needs Carrot Harvest for the Hungry

Local volunteers from Farm Bureaus, Chambers of Commerce, home-school students, Soil and Water Conservation District personnel and others have come together to help feed the hungry. Volunteers are mechanically harvesting and hand packaging 200,000 pounds of fresh carrots from an unharvested 10-acre field owned by Ohi...o carrot farmer Tom O'Neill. The carrots will be donated to 12 food banks around Ohio that are affiliated with the Ohio Association of Second Harvest Food Banks. Read More

Thanks Belva!

We feel it's important to share the good things Ohio farmers do for our communities. These folks are going the extra mile to make sure they can feed even more people during a time when it is sorely needed.

We encourage our members to get online and share not only great stories like this carrot harvest, but also the great work they do on a daily basis. What is routine, everyday work to farmers can be fascinating to the majority of folks who work off the farm.... Read More

Thanks for being a fan! Love to hear everybody's feedback and comments!

Deborah Young-Bowden Could someone remind me please, how a "Product of Thailand" obtains the "USDA Organic" Seal...

November 19 at 7:16pm · Report

Charles Wildman

What is the product? Dirt? I bet that wouldn't pass.

Fri at 5:35am

Ohio Farm Bureau Federation

Our Senior Director of Legislative and Regulatory Policy says he believes any food product sold in the U.S. can obtain such a label as long as they can meet the USDA organic standards. A product doesn't have to be grown in the U.S. to qualify. Here's a good link to read up on the USDA Organic Standards: http://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/NOP

Fri at 8:26am

Deborah Young-Bowden

Thanks. The product is Whole Foods Brand, 365 Everyday Value, Coconut Milk. Let the product stand with the "Certified Organic" by "Quality Assurance International."
For the record, I object. I believe the USDA - ORGANIC SEAL implies to the consumer that an item is a product of the US or at the minimum DIRECT INSPECTION by the USDA.

Ohio Farm Bureau Federation “Truly overwhelming” was how Ohio Farm Bureau's Keith Stimpert described the grassroots activity that supported the Issue 2 campaign. The Nov. 12 Buckeye Farm News highlights the work it took to get Issue 2 passed on Nov. 3, and the work that's still to come.
