The Rockcastle County Family Consumer Sciences Agent, in collaboration with Sigmon Farms, Rockcastle school system, health department, hospital, and conservation district, conducted the county's 18th annual Youth Farm Field Day. The theme, "Farm to Plate: Where Does Your Food Come From?" was made possible by a Healthy Communities grant through Rockcastle Health Department. A hay ride allowed youth to see vegetable and livestock production and crops that support livestock. Speakers discussed local and traditional food production with 295 fourth-grade youth from three elementary schools. The hospital, health department, and beekeepers organization provided healthy food samples, augmented by FCS Agent's $700 grant for samples and snacks.
