In 2015, some growers and friends met in an orchard office in Rock Island, Washington. On the way back to town, one of the growers lamented the pain of tracking hours for his farmworkers who were in the thick of harvest season.
There were many timekeeping solutions available, but none that solved the unique problems that farmers face. Based on the needs of farmers, FieldClock was born.
We started by solving the needs of our founding partners, and grew to solve the needs of their friends and neighbors. Farm by farm, ranch by ranch, we continued to expand to operations across the US.
Ohio Farm Bureau’s legal team has created a new members-only resource for those looking for information about rules and regulations for small-scale food businesses.
The Small-Scale Food Business Guide covers both federal and state regulations for selling food products such as raw meat, dairy, eggs, baked goods, cottage foods, fruits and vegetables, honey and more.
The guide provides a breakdown of the registration, licensing, processing, food safety, inspection, labeling, and any other regulatory/legal standards to be considered when running a small-scale food business. Look at this guide when starting a food business to discern what you may need to do, starting at the farm and ending at the market/consumer.
The Ohio Farm Bureau Property Protection Program will pay a $5,000 reward to anyone providing information to law enforcement that leads to the arrest and conviction of persons for eligible property crimes committed against a Farm Bureau member’s property.
