Supporting Ohio Farming Communities

Our founder and lifetime farmer, Bob Evans, started “Down on the Farm” in Rio Grande, Ohio over 70 years ago with the dream of proudly serving America’s Farm Fresh to guests. To honor his passion and legacy, we have continued our longstanding support of cultivating future farmers by giving back to the three local farming organizations in our home state of Ohio.

The $15,000 donation, benefiting the Ohio FFA Foundation, Ohio 4-H and the Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation, will be put towards educational agricultural programming to support, educate and inspire the next generation of farmers. This donation was funded in part by the event sponsors of the 50th annual Bob Evans Farm Festival.
