Farm to Friendsgiving: Journey of Your Thanksgiving Dinner

About this event

Discover the farm-to-table journey of Thanksgiving favorites! Explore where holiday foods come from and how farmers help bring a Friendsgiving feast to the table.

Ever wonder how your Thanksgiving dinner gets from the farm to your plate? At Farm to Friendsgiving, participants will explore the agricultural journey behind traditional holiday foods, including turkey , potatoes , corn , cranberries , pumpkin , and more . Through interactive activities, participants will discover where these foods are grown or raised, how they are harvested and processed, and the steps they take before reaching the grocery store and eventually the dinner table. Along the way, participants will learn about the farmers, agricultural industries, transportation systems, and natural resources that make a Thanksgiving feast possible. The program encourages participants to look beyond the dinner plate and appreciate the science, work, and agriculture behind their favorite holiday foods.
