Our goal is to walk alongside our youth as they learn to produce a superior product for buyers while learning valuable life skills along the way. With generous community support and show sales, we can continue to give back to the Fair and the next generation of young farmers. With continued commitment from our sponsors, we are excited to continue the program’s growth and provide opportunities for youth to learn and grow in the community.
