16th Annual Farmer’s Share Breakfast
The Summit County Farm Bureau is hosting its 16th Annual Farmers’ Share Breakfast 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.
Local legislators have been invited to participate, giving diners the opportunity to meet and talk with them 8:30 AM to 10 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 charges $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 that the farmer receives about 14 cents out of each dollar spent.
