Southern Ohio Hay List

Our goal in making this list is to provide Southern Ohio clientele with a list of producers who make and sell hay.” Who sells hay?” is a question frequently asked, especially during the winter season. If you are a hay producer and would like to be on the list, please use the QR code or this link to register your information. Of course, we are open to all areas of the state and region, but we are focusing our resources.

One Sweet Gathering

The Ohio Maple Producers Association is hosting their One Sweet Gathering on August 10th at The Ohio State University Mansfield Campus.  Join us for this free family field day while exploring the woodland areas at the Mansfield campus.   We will start the day with a tour of the Ohio State Maple Sugarbush.  The afternoon will explore the woodland demonstration areas of crop tree management, grapevine control, brush piles, and deer exclusions.  Visit with the bugs of the Ohio State Bug Zoo and the birds from the Ohio Bird Sanctuary.

Maple treats will be available, and a food truck will be available for lunch. The attached flyer has a campus map on the back.
