The Farm-Based Education Network aims to promote farm-based education for all ages through various activities. Farms can be effective learning environments regardless of their size, products, or ownership structure. Educational farms provide opportunities for students, community members, and visitors of all ages to learn through activities like tours, workshops, dinners, and festivals.

1. The mission of the Farm-Based Education Network is to inspire, nurture
and promote farm-based education.
We recognize that farms come in a wide variety of sizes and structures.
Educational activities at farms can be effective regardless of specific
characteristics and products. Farms can be owned, leased, for-profit or
not-for-profit, raising vegetables, animals, fiber, timber, and other living
natural resource products. Educational farms can range from having a
single teacher-farmer to a staff of hundreds. Educational farms can serve
all ages from infant visitors with their parent, through K to 12 grades, to
university students and adults throughout their lives.

2. Infusing Education into Agritourism
Yoga, weddings, concerts, pizza night, harvest festivals, farm
stands, pick-your-own, farm dinners, tastings, classes,
workshops, farm stays, tours, etc.
Recreation and Sales Education
