The Summit County Farm Bureau is hosting its 3rd Annual Farmer’s Share Breakfast on Saturday, April 2, 2011.
This popular event is in honor of the many farmers who provide safe, abundant & affordable food throughout the United States. The 2011 Farmer’s Share Breakfast will be held from 8:00 am to 11:00 am at Spring Garden Waldorf School, located at 1791 Jacoby Road in Copley.
Scrambled eggs, sausage, pancakes with maple syrup, milk and coffee will be served for the low price of just 75¢ per person. (This price represents the average amount farmers receive as compensation for producing a comparable amount of food).
In addition to the breakfast, the Summit County Farm Bureau has also planned the following activities:
