Easter

Since 2009, Ohio hog farmers have been actively involved in the fight against hunger. They have donated more than 750,000 meals to Ohio foodbanks. For Easter this year, the Ohio Pork Producers Council is making it easy for all of us to make sure that no child, adult or senior in Ohio goes hungry.

For each visit to the Ohio hog farmer’s YouTube video “Pork from Fork to Farm”, the Ohio Pork Producers Council and its partners will will donate one pound of ground pork to Ohio’s foodbanks.

Thanks to the donations from Farm Credit Services of Mid-America, the Ohio Corn Marketing Program, and other farmers and businesses, Ohio Pork Producers Council will be able to provide up to 35,000 pounds of ground pork to foodbanks in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Toledo.

In celebration of the Farmer, I made Ginger Teriyaki Sliders for dinner yesterday. My kids enjoyed them and I enjoyed being able to make dinner in under 30 minutes. What are some of your favorite pork meals?

Please visit the farmer’s YouTube video and support families this Easter. We can all make this a grand celebration for everyone.
