Students Learn About Ag During Fresh From Florida Event
March 14, 2015
Over 1,000 students from across the area took part in the annual Northview High School FFA “Fresh From Florida” program Friday morning at the school in Bratt.
Formerly known as the “Food For America program”, the event gave students the chance to learn about agriculture first hand up close and personal with farm animals, farm equipment and more to learn how food gets from the farm to their tables. Students were even able to make and enjoy eating their own fresh butter.
And at this year’s event, students were also able to learn about the importance of rain in Florida agriculture, with showers pushing most of this year’s activities indoors.
The Northview High School FFA “Fresh From Florida” program has been honored as the best in Florida for three consecutive years, and the chapter was recently name one of the best in the United States by the National FFA Organization for a second year.

This is such a good program for children! We need them to know about where their food comes from, and why farmers are so important.
