If so, make plans to attend Fulton County Breakfast on the Farm on Saturday, June 24 – a local event that shines the spotlight on the importance of agriculture.
This popular farm event will be held from 9am–1pm at the Triple H Farms in Metamora. Pre-registered guests will enjoy a free breakfast, meet cows, calves, and horses, see a variety of farm equipment, and enjoy many other agricultural-themed activities. Guests will learn about modern food production practices and meet farm families who work hard to produce safe, wholesome food for Ohio communities and the world.
Free Breakfast
Breakfast on the Farm is a family-friendly event that allows the community to enjoy a locally-produced breakfast while having a close-to-home agricultural experience. Pre-registered guests will enjoy a delicious breakfast including pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs, yogurt, tomato juice, and salsa!
Tour the Farm
After enjoying a delicious breakfast, guests of all ages will have an opportunity to take a self-guided tour of the Triple H Farm. They will meet the Herr family and learn about today’s modern tomato and grain farms. Guests can visit the greenhouse and get an up-close look at the equipment used to plant and harvest tomatoes. Tractors, sprayers, combines, and other farm equipment will be available for viewing. There will be beef cattle and horses for guests to meet and a variety of hands-on activities for kids to enjoy. Representatives from any agriculture commodity groups will be on-hand to share information about water quality, dairy, beef, bison, corn, soybeans, composting, and more!
“Breakfast on the Farm gives people throughout the region a firsthand look at modern food production,” shared Amanda Podach, Fulton Soil and Water Education Specialist. “As the gap between producer and consumer continues to grow, it is important to offer people the opportunity to experience how farmers care for their animals, how they produce wholesome and safe food, and how they care for the land.”
Meet The Family – Triple H Farms
Triple H Farms is a fifth-generation family farm operated by the Tommy and Jenny Herr family in partnership with Tom, Sr., and Lynn Herr. The Herr “Century Farm” has operated since 1910 when it originally began on US 20, west of Assumption growing grain, vegetables, and tomatoes for the Toledo and Detroit markets. In 1991, the farm was incorporated to be Triple H Farms, Inc. and continues to grow high-quality corn, soybeans, wheat, hay, tomatoes, and beef today. Triple H Farms is a member of the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association, the Gerald Grain Co-Op, and Fulton County Farm Bureau.
Fulton County Breakfast on the Farm is coordinated by the Fulton Soil and Water Conservation District, Ohio Farm Bureau Fulton County, and the Fulton County OSU Extension, along with a community-based planning committee.
