October is Farm to School month and Barron County, a community wide effort provided a hands on lesson and how our food gets from the farm to the table.

Our Laura Rogers Texas fair.

For our agricultural segment, we call rooted the onion.

More apples.

The real goal is trying to get kids to know and understand where their food comes from, and what better way to do that than by hosting a hog roach.

We have always felt that our ag programs, especially in the school district, should reflect the community.

Marion County Schools have a dedicated farm to school coordinator and Andy Joe Moore.

It's one of the coolest things when you can help students produce food and give them the opportunity to enjoy that meal amongst their friends, amongst their peers.

To do so, the school district connects with local farmers and sustainable Glasco.

They were doing an event and we were doing a hog roast and we said, hey, why don't we partner together and make this big?

And they did, selling 500 tickets and inviting the entire community.

Enjoy the meal.

We'll show them what you guys are doing, how amazing your students are.

We'll feed them with our food locally.

Everything comes right here from the area that is a connection to our local economy.

That's a connection to our local agriculturalists, our farmers.

There are a lot of farmers and Barron County.

The 2022 Census of Agriculture reflects more than 1600 farms across 230,500 acres, the most, and the state of Kentucky.

When you live in an agricultural community, the support comes from every angle, and that's very encouraging.

The connection between the kids and the farmers, that's what we want to facilitate.

Sustainable Blasko people from the farmers market, people from the Agriculture Department and our food and Nutrition services will begin meeting and having discussion in June July.

From pressing fresh apple cider to picking the flowers for table arrangements, every detail meticulously planned and executed.

The kids actually churn butter for this event.

From Chinese country milk that's used on the menu tonight with the cornbread.

Hannah Simmons says her students get excited to see what they're learning in class.

Translate to this event.

We see so many changes within the agriculture industry, the way technology is changing agriculture.

Our food supply is dependent on this next generation of students.

And if last night is any indication, we're in good hands for Kentucky Edition.

I'm Laura Rogers.

Thank you.

Laura.

Looks yummy.

The dinner supported Sustainable Glasco and the Kentucky Double Dollars program, which helps people in need get more for their money at the local farmers market.
