Resources and Lesson Plans and Farm Tours…OH MY!

FARM SMART had the opportunity to participate in the 2017 California Ag in the Classroom conference in Visalia, CA in July.  This was a wonderful opportunity for FARM SMART to share resources and ideas with California educators, as well as gain new ideas and resources to incorporate into FARM SMART programming.  Over 200 educators from across California learned about the importance of educating our youth about food and fiber through all subject areas. Agriculture is everywhere and in everything we do! Activities included farm tours, workshops, a farmer panel, hands on activities and free resources centered around agriculture and education. 

This conference is open to all educators interested in learning and sharing their knowledge of incorporating agriculture in the classroom.  Grants to cover the conference are available to teachers at: https://learnaboutag.org/grants/index.cfm
