The Farmyard Education Foundation was established in June 2015 as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization. Our mission statement is to educate our community about agriculture through the eyes of our children. Our hope is through education we can empower people to understand the importance of agriculture and the impact it has on all of our lives. Our focus for 2016 is to educate people on the history of farming in and around our community so they can truly appreciate the progression of the farming industry. We would like people from all walks of life to experience agriculture and all it has to offer.

The Farmyard Education Foundation is kicking off 2016 with a three series event called

“Roots, Shoots & Blooms!”
