Our Mission
The NYFB Foundation supports educational programs that connect people to agriculture, grow future leaders and promote the essential role of farming in New York State.
Farm to Food Experience (FFX)
Each year in mid October, New York Farm Bureau Foundation hosts Food and Farm Experience (FFX) for middle and high school counselors. The three-day event at the Craftsman Inn and Suites in Fayetteville, NY, showcases hundreds of agricultural career opportunities on and off the farm.
FFX is an expenses paid, hands-on learning experience exclusively designed for middle school and high school career exploration and development. It includes farm tours and engaging speakers, with the purpose of building connections between school counselors and job opportunities associated with food and farming.
Participants for FFX are selected through a nomination/application process. Information on the 2025 event will be posted soon.
