Who We Are
 


One of many groups of students that visited Jones Family Farm during 2007 Farm City.

The rock behind the group is at the entrance to the farm and reads "be good to the land and the land will be good to you".

A poster displayed at Farm City lists all of the 2007 sponsors.  We thank ALL the sponsors for their part in Farm City.  Farm City was enjoyed by all - students, teachers, chaperons and volunteers.
