AG IN THE CLASSROOM RESOURCES
This page is a work in progress! We are working to build a place for local educators to find relevant, easy to use ag in the classroom resources as well as share opportunities for local farmers and producers to visit your classroom (both in person and virtually). Our mission is to help build an understanding and appreciation of where our food comes from and how agriculture impacts our lives!
