Students Learn About Ag During Fresh From Florida Event (With Gallery)
March 12, 2016
About 800 students from across the area took part in the annual Northview High School FFA “Fresh From Florida” program Friday morning at the school in Bratt.
Formerly known as the “Food For America program”, the event gave students the chance to learn about agriculture first hand up close and personal with farm animals, farm equipment and more to learn how food gets from the farm to their tables. Students were even able to make and enjoy eating their own fresh butter.
The Northview High School FFA “Fresh From Florida” program has been honored as the best in Florida numerous times, and the chapter was recently name one of the best in the United States by the National FFA Organization for a second year.

It’s fun to run your fingers through corn like those kids are doing in Farm-Day-130.
I can imagine misers doing the same with coins because they didn’t have enough corn.
David for happy fingers
A great program that teaches all about the dedicated work of farmers and food processing. ..KIDDOS TO MR.PERRY BYARS AND NORTHVIEW FFA FOR EDUCATING OUR YOUTH!!
