Author: Garrard Coffey
Planning Unit: Rockcastle County CES
Major Program: Community Vitality and Leadership - ANR
Plan of Work: Enhance Leadership, Volunteerism & Community Involvement
Outcome: Initial Outcome
The Rockcastle Cooperative Extension partnered with the Conservation District, Farm Bureau, Rockcastle Cattleman’s, and the Rockcastle County School Board to provide an Agriculture awareness lunch for school board employees. Members form each organization help to cook and serve the lunches and raise awareness of local farmers and agriculture organizations.
Six hundred meals are served this day and each individual is exposed to agriculture in our community. Kentucky Cattleman’s beef solution burger is served for lunch. The goal of this program is to highlight agriculture and its organizations to school members and share our story of impact in community. Since the program began 2 years ago we have seen an increase in cooperation with our schools to highlight agriculture and partner with classrooms for ag programs.
