The Colorado Foundation for Agriculture and The Fence Post Magazine are bringing Colorado farms and ranches to classrooms with the release of the 2021 Literacy Project book, Still Good: The Faces of Family Agriculture.
The Foundation selects a book annually to facilitate agriculture education for students in grades K through sixth across the state through the Literacy Project. Read in classrooms by volunteers from the agriculture community, the foundation also provides curriculum and accompanying materials for educators. Volunteers visit classrooms to read and talk about their own agriculture operations and each classroom receives the copy of the book.
The 2021 book is written by The Fence Post Magazine assistant editor Rachel Gabel and illustrated by engagement editor Liz Banman Munsterteiger. Still Good: The Faces of Family Agriculture is made possible through a grant from the Bessie Minor Swift Foundation and will be available in January.
