In September, 2011 CTAEF distributed agricultural fact calendars to nearly every third grade public school classroom in CT. We are looking to continue this program for the next school year. Please email aimee@ctaef.org if interested in becoming a sponsor.

The CTAEF mission is to increase agricultural awareness and provide educational opportunities for our citizens, both young and old.  Throughout each year, CTAEF seeks ways to promote Connecticut farms and farmers.  We recognize that exposing children to the components of agriculture gives them a better appreciation for the systems which provide the essential substances in their lives.  We hope that the calendar will provide a source for valued learning for you and your students.

The calendar was published by CTAEF board members Kerri Sears, Lori Longhi and AITC Coordinator Eleanore Provencal.  The Committee would like to thank all those that gave their time and efforts to making the calendar a success.
