Overview

Mission

Lee County Farm Bureau's mission is to work for the betterment of agriculture in Lee county.

What it reported doing in 2024

Lee County Farm Bureau works with and supports the FGCU Center for Agribusiness. We educated our members about the importance of agriculture education. Agricultural programs in the public school provide hands on experience for students raising vegetables they can grow, harvest and eat. The Healthy Living project links food production to career education, environmental science, and biology.
