Title Sponsor - Oregon Women for Ag
Agriculture
is one of the few industries that affects us all. It involves the food
we eat, the clothes we wear, and many of the materials we use in our daily
lives. Though agriculture is such a major part of our everyday lives,
most folks don't know much more than where to buy the products they need.
Oregon Ag Fest was created to help better educate the public about the
importance of agriculture. We demonstrate how important ag's economic
impact, logistics and practices are: showing folks, especially kids, such
things as where the food they eat comes from, how sheep are raised for
the wool to make clothing, to the importance of our forests for ecology
and human survival.
Each April, Ag Fest is presented as a two-day, hands-on, activity-filled
festival. It's held at the Oregon State Fairgrounds in Salem. Our goal
is to provide an educational experience for the whole family that is really
fun. And, we keep it affordable! Kids age 12 and under are FREE!
Over 20,000 people attend Ag Fest each year to touch, taste and experience
the incredible world of Oregon agriculture. Visitors come from all over
the state eager to have fun while learning about Oregon's largest industry.
