REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio – Consumers looking for products made and grown in Ohio can now find them more easily at the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s new, interactive Ohio Proud Web site.
The new site, www.ohioproud.org, provides consumers quick and easy access to information that includes locations of farmers’ markets, recipes featuring Ohio-specific foods, and local events, such as cooking demonstrations at the State Fair and in-store sampling at retail stores. The new Web site also makes it easier for Ohio Proud partners to update their company information, to download the Ohio Proud logo and point-of-sale materials, as well as to access information on expanding their businesses in domestic and international markets. In addition, information about program perks, fees, and regulations is available for potential partners.
Ohio Proud is the department’s signature marketing program that promotes food and agricultural products that are made and grown in Ohio. Originally created in 1993, the program was re-launched in 2008 to meet changing consumer trends. Ohio Proud companies support the state’s agricultural economy by employing more than 50,000 Ohioans throughout 71 counties.
