Nassau County Farm Bureau

The youth speech contest program has been a long standing tradition of Nassau County Farm Bureau. Through this one event we are able to provide an enriching learning experience for not only the students who participate in this contest but also the judges who get to learn from these students.

Nassau County Farm Bureau hosts its annual Farm City Week breakfast in November. This event raises awareness regarding the food we eat as it relates to farmers and agriculture. We use this event to educate, promote and preserve agriculture as a whole by incorporating rural and urban communities. We also had two display boards at a local Coffee Shop and the public library. On display was pertinent information for the public to read and be informed that Farmers and Ranchers rely on essential partnerships with urban communities to supply, sell and deliver finished products across the country and around the world. Information on how Farmers and Ranchers conserve freshwater resources, wildlife habitat and greenspace was also included.

Nassau County Farm Bureau and the Northeast Florida Fair have had a longstanding tradition of partnering together to bring agricultural awareness to Nassau County. Our County Fair is held in the fall each year and serves as a conduit to relay agricultural messages to Nassau County residents who are not familiar with where their food comes from. At the Northeast Florida Fair we set up a booth to promote, educate and raise awareness on the betterment of local agriculture. We also educate the public about our organization's mission and purpose along with ways to get involved in youth programs.
