Have questions about food and farming?

Our "Ask a Farmer" series is perfect for curious young minds wanting to explore the world of agriculture. Real questions from real kids get answered by real farmers!

This program gives youth a one-of-a-kind chance to connect directly with the farmers who grow their food. Through these conversations, we bridge the gap between youth and agriculture, helping them learn how their food is grown and where it comes from.

This program helps youth build a personal connection to the people behind their food and understand the vital role of agriculture in our world.
