Tuscarawas County Farm Bureau Names TVFM 2021 Partner of the Year, Honor Recognized by Ohio Statehouse
The Tuscarawas Valley Farmers Market was honored by the Tuscarawas County Farm Bureau with their award for 2021 Partner of the Year! Our market partnered with the Farm Bureau during our 13th season (2021) for a BBQ demonstration where participants learned how to properly prepare a variety of barbecued meats. We’re so grateful to the Farm Bureau for their tireless efforts to advance agriculture and strengthen our communities because we share that mission. Thank you for the support and recognition, and we look forward to partnering with the Farm Bureau more in the future!
After receiving the Partner of the Year award from the Tuscarawas County Farm Bureau, we received further recognition from the Ohio House of Representatives for the honor. We are truly humbled that our efforts are noticed by those in our community.
