Each spring Northern California ranchers, farmers, producers, and educators come together to engage scores of young children in hands-on learning opportunities about the source of some of their food. Welcome to Marin County's annual Farm Day.
Celebrating its 27th anniversary, the theme for this year's Farm Day is "Bridging Farm to City." The free event, celebrating National Agriculture Week, takes place. More than 2,000 eager, curious children, along with their parents and teachers, attend the one-day event, moving through an array of exhibits and hands-on activities. Grade-school students from around the county get a chance to see farm animals up close - cows, goats, sheep, poultry and rabbits - and to participate in interactive exhibits on farm animals, gardens, environmental education, and the importance of agriculture and farming in Marin.
