This great fundraiser fully goes to support a great movement in agricultural education

At the Center for Land-Based Learning, we believe that young people have the capacity to think critically, make positive decisions, work together and lead their communities. Our programs target high school students because:

  • There are so few experience-based programs in agriculture and environmental sciences for this age group.
  • The mid-teens are developmentally the appropriate time to instill skills that help students make positive, informed decisions about their futures.
  • It's the right time to introduce students to the resources and practical information that encourages post-secondary studies related to environmental sustainability
Purchase tickets HERE now to support a great cause, and eat some incredible food under the stars! But hurry quick, because the event's limited to 70 Guests!
