Rounding out our committees for the semester is the Public Relations Committee!
They’ve been busy keeping our social media platforms up to date, sharing highlights from all of our committees, and keeping everyone informed on the educational experiences happening at the farm. They’ve also created farm apparel and helped showcase everything we’ve accomplished this semester. On top of that, they’re planning our end-of-the-year potluck to celebrate all the amazing things we’ve done together.
