Farm City is coordinated by volunteers in agriculture. This is a traveling program which is held at host farms throughout the state. These are typically one-two day events which bring children out on a farm to learn about agriculture. The CT Agricultural Education Foundation provides the financial support necessary to coordinate these events. Contact eleanore@ctaef.org if you are interested in hosting a Farm City event at your farm.
There were two farm city events held in October, 2009 at Greenbacker Farms and New Pond Farm. Several hundred students attended these volunteer events. Special thanks to New Pond Farm and the Greenbacker family for hosting Farm City in 2009.
