The San Joaquin Farm Bureau Foundation for Agricultural Education was founded in 1989 by the San Joaquin Farm Bureau to preserve the county’s agricultural industry. By working directly with schools, community groups, and other youth organizations, the Foundation for Ag. Ed. teaches students who otherwise might not have the opportunity to learn about this vast field.
By educating at all levels, students learn about the need for agriculture and can pursue their own paths in our great field. Students learn about the effect farming has on San Joaquin County, California, and the United States. We seek to show students just how important agriculture is and how it impacts our lives every single day.
Education in and out of the classroom go hand-in-hand, so we also host events that allow students the opportunity to interact with livestock, career farmers, and more. With this exposure, we seek to show our county’s youth the importance of farming.
The SJFB Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit.
