0:01 Local children spent two days learning where their food comes from during the North Alabama Agroplex's 26th annual
0:06 Touring Farms for Kids program. The educational event gives children ages 7 to 13 an opportunity to visit local
0:12 farms, meet farmers, and learn about agriculture through hands-on experiences. This year's tour included
0:18 stops at the Fest Hall Farmers Market, JNC local lavender farms, Barebottom Dairy, and Hannes Family Farm. Agroplex
0:25 director Rachel Dossi said the program began more than two decades ago and continues to introduce children to a
0:31 wide variety of agricultural operations from dairy farming and row crops to lavender production and beekeeping.
0:37 Throughout the tour, participants learned how food and farm products make their way from local farms to consumers
0:43 while gaining a better understanding of agriculture in Cullman County. Dossi said one of the program's biggest
0:48 benefits is giving children the chance to spend time outdoors while connecting with local farmers and learning where
0:53 their food comes from. This has been Annabelle House with Cullman Today.
