California Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing California students with life-long lessons in nutrition, introducing them to new foods and educating them about where their food comes from. Our mission is to increase awareness and understanding of agriculture among California educators and students. Through various programs and resources, educators are able to incorporate fun, agriculture-based curriculum into lessons in all subject areas. We provide educators with free, quality resources, trainings and information (aligned with California Education Standards) to enhance students' understanding of the important role agriculture plays in our economy, society and daily lives. Last year, we reached more than 900,000 California students.

In celebration of National Agriculture Week, we will be hosting a special event at Silt Wine Company in Clarksburg on March 24. The event brings together leaders in agriculture from throughout the Golden State. Guests will enjoy live music, hosted beer and wine and light dinner fare. Funds raised at the event/silent auction help fund our educational programs throughout the year and keep ag education front and center in our California schools.
