The Summit County Farm Bureau is hosting its 13th Annual Farmers’ Share Breakfast on March 11, 2023 at Copley High School (3807 Ridgewood Road in Copley). Breakfast will be served from 8 AM to 11 AM or until the food runs out and will include pancakes with real maple syrup, scrambled eggs, sausage links, and milk, water or coffee for a $1.00 donation.
All monetary proceeds will benefit the Akron Canton Food Bank. A canned food drive benefits the Salvation Army. Receive one ticket for each canned food to enter the Smith’s Dairy “Ice Cream Each Month for a Year raffle.
Local legislators have been invited to participate, giving diners the opportunity to meet and talk with them 8:30 AM to 10 AM.
There will be two identical 30-minute educational seminars on Freezing Fruits and Vegetables by Melinda Hill, OSU Extension educator, in a classroom adjacent to the cafeteria at 9:00 AM and 10:15 AM.
Display tables and representatives will be present from local 4-H groups, the Summit County Beekeepers Association, the Master Gardeners, Nationwide Insurance and more.
Year after year, we are asked why this event is called “the Farmers’ Share breakfast” and only charge $1.00. Well, believe it or not, $1.00 is just about the amount the farmer receives for that meal. Shocking, isn’t it! A good rule of thumb would be to figure the farmer receives about 14 cents out of each dollar spent,
