Do you know where your food comes from? Fourth graders from McDowell County will learn just that. Each October, McDowell County Cooperative Extension with help from agriculture producers will teach these young people exactly where their food comes from during Agriculture Awareness Field Days.

A variety of topics are taught including aquaculture, beef production, poultry, horticulture, bee keeping, sheep, goats, etc. Sure, I buy my food from a grocery store, but I know where my food comes from. Hopefully, after Agriculture Awareness Field Day, these kids will too.North Carolina Cooperative Extension partners with McDowell County to deliver education and technology that enrich the lives, land, and economy of North Carolinians.
