Stockton resident describes hands-on agricultural education at AgVenture
Summary
A Stockton resident told AgVenture attendees that school field trips and tabling at the event have helped teach children about agriculture and edible education through CCAC.
A Stockton resident told attendees at an AgVenture public comment that school field trips and tabling at the event shaped their connection to agriculture and let them teach children about edible education.
The resident said those third-grade field trips were many students’ first exposure to farming and described volunteering at AgVenture, where they tabled to share educational activities through CCAC. "I'm from Stockton, 1 of the agricultural centers of California," the resident said. "Growing up, we had this field trip that every third grader in the entire district would have, and that was my first experience with agriculture."
The speaker said tabling at AgVenture felt like "giving back to my community," and cited a simple classroom surprise — learning that you can "pickle, like, apples" — as an example of the hands-on discoveries students make. The resident characterized their work with CCAC as "super fun" and framed it as edible education that introduces children to food and farming through interactive demonstrations.
No formal actions, votes, or policy proposals were included in the remarks; the comments were offered as personal testimony during the event's public comment period.
