El Dorado County Ag in the Classroom will embark on the third annual South Lake Tahoe Farm Day at Camp Richardson on Sept. 22.

Nearly 600 local third- and fourth-grade students, their teachers, and chaperones will get a hands-on experience where lessons of agriculture and its role in everyday lives, the county, and its economy are taught in the context of local farms, ranches, and timber industry.

Interactive exhibits and demonstrations presented by organizations, businesses, and persons who are experts in their field include: nutrition, food preservation, worm composting, soil, working animals, food animals, invasive and beneficial insects, resources from healthy forests, organic pest management, watersheds, irrigation, land stewardship and more.
