Dinwiddie Farm Day

Annually, the Dinwiddie Extension Office and the Appomattox River Soil and Water Conservation District conducts a Urban Farm Day program for all the second graders in Dinwiddie and Petersburg.  Over 700 students attend this on-farm educational program.  Each year, the program enlists over 50 volunteers who assist with over 15 individual educational stations.  This event provides students with a opportunity to visit a real working farm and gain knowledge on many Agriculture and Environmental Topics.  Students are able to visit each stop for 15 minutes to see vast educational displays and listen to presentations that range from Locally Grown Agriculture Crops, Water Quality, and Farm Safety to Forestry and Wild Life Management.
