How do you making farming cool to kids who may not know where their food comes from? By using one of our favorite sports! Hickman's Family Farms, Arizona Cardinals and the Arizona Farm Bureau have partnered to teach our students about agriculture. The From Farm to Football program uses football to teach students about where their food and crops come from.
Arizona Cardinals player #44 Markus Golden is the spokesperson for "From Farm to Football" a FREE, fun and interactive program designed teach kids about where their food comes from and to hear directly from Arizona farmers who grow it. By using football, the hope is to give students a real-life example of how agriculture impacts our lives on a daily basis.
This program is geared towards teachers and students K-12 and runs from October - December. The hope is to enroll 20,000 students this year. Â Each month students will hear from Markus Golden and an Arizona farmer or rancher. Teachers are given lesson plans that focus on Hickman's Family Farm eggs and other crops.
