From homegrown produce and meat products to handmade jewelry and artwork, Preble County has a wide variety of farmers and artisans growing and creating their wares right here at home.
Preble Roots is a branding and marketing opportunity which allows local producers to market their products and show off their Preble County roots. Preble Roots is a cooperative effort of the Preble County Convention & Visitors Bureau, Preble County Development Partnership, Preble County Farm Bureau and the Preble County Chamber of Commerce.
A Preble Roots product directory is in the works. The PCCVB will be sharing with consumers the value of the logo in identifying Preble County’s locally-produced products. The directory will be in print, and will also be made available online.
The Preble Roots logo helps to identify products which are at least 60 percent raised, grown or produced in Preble County. Food, fiber, or the arts — all are included.
Producers wanting to brand their products and benefit from the Preble Roots marketing efforts are encouraged to sign up. Registration information is available at www.preblecountypassport.com. Cost is $25 annually, which includes listing in all directories and the use of the Preble Roots logo for one year, as well as a business-card style advertisement in the print directory.
Local producers and artisans may have their basic contact information listed in the 2018 directory free of charge. Forms for submission for inclusion are located at www.preblecountypassport.com.
Visit the Preble Roots page at www.preblecountypassport.com to find out about other Preble Roots participants, to register to become the newest member, or submit your information for inclusion in the directory. Deadline for participation is Tuesday, Oct. 31.
