Northview FFA ‘Fresh From Florida’ Program Named Second Best In State

June 17, 2016

The Northview High School FFA’s “Fresh From Florida Advocacy Program” was named the second best program in the state during the FFA state convention Thursday in Orlando.

Formerly known the Food for America program, the Fresh from Florida Advocacy Program  is designed to encourage FFA members to participate in agricultural literacy and awareness projects on the local level. The annual program, conducted by the Northview FFA in March, gave hundreds of students a chance to learn about agriculture firsthand as they got up close and personal with farm animals, farm equipment and more.  The students even had the opportunity to make their own butter and enjoy it on crackers.

In addition to their second place state awards in 2015 and 2016, the Northview High School FFA “Fresh From Florida” program was previously honored as the best in Florida for three consecutive years.
