Policy and Pints: You’re Invited!
It has been an interesting few months, especially for those in food, agriculture, and environment spaces. As such, there is no better time to be in community! As part of the recently launched 2025 OEFFA Sustainable Farm Tour and Workshop Series, our team will be traveling around the state to connect with local organizations and community members.
Dubbed Policy and Pints, our informal gatherings will provide an opportunity for folks around Ohio to connect with OEFFA policy staff, learn about our work, and see how you can plug into these advocacy efforts. You’ll be able to dip your toes into the world of food and farm policy issues, sip on beverages from sustainable breweries and ciderhouses, and engage with other changemakers!
Check out the lineup below. All events are free and open to the public. (Note that registration is required for the August event at Turner Farm.)
