Allen County Farm Bureau Pizza Demonstration

 

During National Ag Week Allen County Farm Bureau celebrated by sharing it’s “Pizza Demo” with all 10 kindergarten classes at Allen County Primary Center. Sabriana Lonas and Amanda Carter, both part of the local Farm Bureau’s Women’s Committee, shared fresh, hot, tasty pizzas with the students along with games and stories to help the children realize that we can only have pizza because of the farmers, because every ingredient from pizza comes from someone’s farm.
