Our mission is to teach the youth of today about the industry of agriculture. We hope to do so by establishing an afterschool program for the schools in the Byron-Bethany area, that gives kids a hands on learning atmosphere. We plan to have each child seed, plant, fertilize, irrigate, maintain, and harvest their very own crops so that they gain a better appreciation of how their food is made and distributed. Each child will also be given the chance to sell their crop at a local student run farmstand in which the profits will be put back into the education system to further advance their education.
