CSREES has a secondary education challenge grant that might be of interest to groups working on connecting educational skill development and career center, post secondary programs or ag curriculum in schools without Ag Ed programs.  The grant application and details are located at http://www.csrees.usda.gov/fo/educationchallengesecondaryhep.cfm.   Food and agricultural sciences are part of the opportunity for educating youth and workforce development.

The OARDC Mid-Week Farmers Market, in its third week of existence, occurs on Wednesday afternoons from 3-6.  Beyond the basic goal of selling local produce to consumers, the market’s other objective is to be a learning experience for all involved.
