Overview

Mission

Educate the public about agriculture with the emphasis on how and where their food is grown.

What it reported doing in 2022

The organization supports a demonstration farm on which the public can learn about agriculture. Specifically, the emphasis is on helping the public learn by whom, how and from where their food is grown.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
