Planting Seeds of Curiosity: How One Teacher Is Growing Ag Education

In this inspiring episode, we chat with Tiffany Gallegos, a dedicated educator with 21 years in the classroom, who has taken her passion for agriculture and turned it into a hands-on learning journey for her students. What began as a classroom visit from Florida Ag Experience sparked a mission to connect kids with agriculture beyond the textbook.

Tiffany shares how she started an ag club as a passion project to bring experiential learning into her school. With no formal ag program in place, she saw agriculture as a perfect vehicle for integrating science, math, reading, and social studies—and wanted to make these kinds of resources available to other teachers, especially the free ones!

Through farm field trips, hatchling projects, and food-based lessons, Tiffany’s students have:

• Picked blueberries and made pancakes and muffins from scratch

• Toured a processing facility and pulled fresh potatoes from the soil

• Visited Dakin Dairy to learn about milk production

• Hatched their own chickens, bringing life science lessons full circle

Her creative, out-of-the-box approach proves you don’t need a formal ag program to make agriculture part of everyday learning. Tiffany encourages other educators to think beyond the mandated curriculum and explore the field—literally!


🔗 Tune in to learn how you, too, can plant the seeds of curiosity and growth in your students with accessible ag resources and real-world learning.
