Thank you to everyone who joined us—both exhibitors and attendees—for Homeschool Tailgate Day!
This exciting agricultural education event brought together homeschoolers and students of all ages for a day where learning met fun. With hands-on experiences and engaging opportunities, participants explored the world of farming alongside agricultural industry experts, government agencies, teachers, and volunteers. Attendees explored environmental and agricultural science, uncovered local history, and discovered exciting career paths rooted in our connection to the land.
We look forward to hosting this incredible event again in 2026!
