🐣🌱 Check out our latest article, Growing Agriculture Connections, One Chick at a Time!

Through our in-school enrichment partnership with New Hanover County Schools, we're helping connect agriculture to our urban community through hands-on learning experiences.

Our Embryology School Enrichment Program gives students the opportunity to explore science, agriculture, and food systems while witnessing the life cycle of a chicken firsthand. It's an engaging way to spark curiosity, build understanding, and strengthen connections to where our food comes from.

We're proud to be growing agricultural connections—one chick at a time! 🐥🍀
