BELLVILLE, Ohio — The Clear Fork FFA chapter held its annual fruit and nut sale this year. The chapter had a no contact ordering system so that the members and the customers could stay safe. Members delivered fruits and nuts through a no contact drive thru or by delivering the orders themselves.
The fruits and nuts available included oranges, grapefruits, a variety of apples, peanuts, cashews and mixtures of nuts. These items came from out of state farms that support several FFA chapters locally and nationwide. Overall, the sale was successful.

CALEDONIA, Ohio — Due to COVID-19, this year, fruit sales went differently than expected for the River Valley FFA chapter. The chapter were able to do an online order, but also physical orders, like years before. Many students came in early Dec. 9 to help unload fruit.
