What Makes Us Different

AgInnovation Farm is building the next generation of environmental leaders while strengthening our local food system by providing fresh produce for food banks, offering real-world career exploration, practicing sustainable agriculture, and supporting community resilience—showing that this is more than a farm; it’s a model for how education and agriculture can work together.

What We Offer

Students don’t just learn about sustainability, they live it through farm, based STEM learning, food systems education, career pathway exploration, and leadership and service opportunities, while the produce they grow supports local food banks and school lunch programs as the program works toward Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) certification.

What Our Community Says

"I like being part of the agricultural club because it teaches me the science and importance of farming. I get the opportunity to learn about planting and growing crops. It teaches me how animals and crops can provide food, clothing, and other products. I love learning about the environment. The agricultural club allows me to learn more about nature and things that interest me."

—Avah F
"Emi just loves Ag so much. She loves the animals and learning how to grow the vegetables and is very proud of her work there. It’s a wonderful opportunity for the kids to see how a working farm operates and learn where and how our food is produced. Emi is already looking forward to the spring program!"

—Parent testimonial
"AgInnovation is a wonderful instructive tool for my son. He’s learning how to cultivate land, monitoring the growth of fruits and vegetables all while working cooperatively with other kids to reach a common goal. It’s a physical activity as well as a strategic task. It’s a great combination."
