📚🌱 Project RED: Station 1 — How Did That Get in My Lunchbox? 🥪

We’re excited to begin sharing the stations from our Project RED farm rotation! At each station, students learned from a community agriculture leader and explored how food makes its way from the farm to their lunchbox.

Our first station featured Emily Kreh of Kreh Farms. Kreh Farms offers a variety of homegrown meats directly from the farm and at local farmers markets.

Emily taught students about protein and helped them connect the foods they eat with the farmers who raise and produce them. Using the book How Did That Get in My Lunchbox?, students followed along as they learned about the different foods featured on each page.

Each student received a brown paper bag to carry throughout the rotation. As they visited each station, they added items to their “lunchbox” that connected to the lessons and pages in the book.

Thank you, Emily, for sharing your knowledge, your farm, and your passion for agriculture with our students! ❤️

Stay tuned as we introduce the next Project RED station and the community agriculture leader who made it possible! 🚜🌾

❤️🌱 PROJECT RED: Saginaw County’s biggest year yet!

If you saw the line of school buses rolling into Schomaker Farms last week, you may have wondered… what exactly is Project RED?

Project RED — Rural Education Day — is a hands-on agricultural education experience for local 4th graders. Instead of simply reading about agriculture in a classroom, students get to experience it firsthand — meeting animals, interacting with farmers and agricultural professionals, and learning how the food and products they use every day make their way from the farm to their families.

And this year was our most impactful Project RED yet. ❤️

🚌 Nearly 600 fourth graders came through the farm in ONE day, rotating through educational stations and getting an up-close look at agriculture right here in Saginaw County.

But numbers only tell part of the story.

Behind those buses were hundreds of kids asking questions, touching animals, making connections and learning things about agriculture they may have never had the opportunity to experience before.

And behind all of them was an incredible group of volunteers, presenters, farmers, educators and community partners who gave their time to make it happen. We could not do this without you.

Over the next several weeks, we’re going to take you inside Project RED and highlight the different educational stations, the people who made them possible, and — most importantly — what our students learned. 🌽🐄🐔🌱

Because when kids understand where their food comes from, they build a connection to agriculture that can last far beyond one day on the farm.

This is Project RED. ❤️
