Major Program: Agriculture
The average American is at least three generations removed from the farm. There is a real need to educate youth about agriculture and provide them with on-farm experiences so that they will appreciate where their food and fiber comes from.Seven years ago, the Warren County 4-H Program piloted the 4-H Alpaca Project by partnering with Alive N’ Fuzzy Alpaca Farm in Rockfield, KY. This project was unique from other 4-H projects in that it provided on-farm experiences for non-farm/urban youth.
