Island farms are family farms and that means youth are part and parcel of the business. Keeping them safe and fostering an interest in farming starts at an early age and this page is dedicated to providing information for the youth in our community. Please keep returning to this site as more information will be added as it becomes available. If you know of a site or resource that could be an agricultural benefit to our community, please email Crystal Fullerton or call at 902-368-7289.
