Thank you for Supporting Agriculture and Education!
Our events were held virtually, but your support continues to be real for students and teachers throughout California! From celebrating the achievements of students to bringing agriculture straight to their classrooms, the goal of our events is to truly celebrate the industry that provides the food and fiber we depend on daily. Thank you for your help!
