Why Local Foods?

  • In Ohio there is a unique proximity between rural and urban communities
  • Ohio has small, medium and large-scale agriculture from rural to urban areas
  • Ohio has a wide variety of food products
  • All Ohioans are part of the 'food system' just be making daily decisions about what food to eat
  • Agriculture is Ohio's number one industry, contributing more than $108 billion to the state's economy. (You can find out more at ohioproud.org)

Support for 'local foods' can continue throughout the year . . . consider supporting local 4-H members by supporting the Jr Fair livestock sale.  Contact the Jr Fair Sale office for more information. Thanks to several individuals and partnerships who purchased animals in past Jr Fair sales and donated those meats to local charities such as City Mission and Hope House - - That's a Win-Win!
