Agriculture is a rewarding way of life, but it is also one of the most hazardous industries for young people. At Food + Farm Exploration Center, we believe that the best way to foster a love for farming is to ensure our youth have the tools and knowledge to stay safe.

Join us on Friday, April 3rd, for an informational and hands-on safety day. We will explore how to align farm tasks with a young person’s physical and emotional capabilities, reducing risks while empowering them to learn and grow in the field
