What you can learn from visiting a hog farm

Do you want to know how animals are raised and cared for by family farmers?

This week we have a small team working the Ohio Pork Producers Council and are on location talking to Ohio family hog farmers. The purpose of the work is to impact food purchasers to buy bacon, ham, pork chops or whatever your favorite cut of pork is, with trust and confidence. Before the food purchase is made, we know consumers want to know farmers and  how they care for their animals. Here is a look into our team’s perspective of the work we are doing and insight from being on the farms, talking to the multi-generational farmers.

The Ohio Pork Producers Council and hundreds of similar farmer-funded organizations like it have an opportunity to engage in a conversation about how our food is safely raised on family farms. Rather than allow non-ag audiences try to tell an inaccurate story of Ohio’s family hog farmers, the Ohio Pork Producers Council is empowered to tell their family farm stories and engage with food purchasers to share those stories.

Listen in to what Les Kahl, AdFarm Senior US Partner and Creative Director, shot and edited today from his iPhone while on location and learn about Ohio hog farms.
