Day at the Farm, March 30, 2017
EKU Meadowbrook Farms hosted its annual “Day at the Farm” on March 30, 2017. Approximately 100 students from Wolfe County elementary schools attended; the children were in the third and fourth grades.
“Kids aren’t always aware of where their food comes from; they don’t always know that people are involved in the process, so we like to show them that,” explains Mr. Justin McKinney, Director of Meadowbrook Farm.
Dr. Andrea Sexten’s Agriculture and Horticulture students organized and participated in the Day at the Farm event; each student was assigned to a different game or activity that taught the children about farm equipment, animals, plants, products, and business.
