\"\"<\/a>Every year, the Trumbull Agriscience and Biotechnology Center get together and set up Farm Fair. Members of the Trumbull community came to support the Agriscience center, while enjoying all the things that the center has to offer. People toured the farm and visited the horses, alpacas, llamas, and sheep all located at the farm.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think what people love most about farm fair are the animals\u2014 especially the sheep and the horses!\u201d Makayla Albert, a senior in Animal science, says.<\/p>\n

All year, the upperclassmen in Equine and Animal science take care of the llamas, alpacas, sheep, and other animals in the farm, and at Farm Fair, several students help to take care of the animals, cleaning their pens and giving a tour of the farmhouse.<\/p>\n

In addition to touring the farmhouse, students got the chance to showcase their own personal, entrepreneurial projects.
\nStudents in the Agriscience center all need to complete an SAE throughout their four years in the program, which can range from volunteer work to creating their own entrepreneurial project.
\nFarm Fair gives these students the chance to sell and advertise these products. Kelsey Hehir, a senior in the Animal program, takes photos of the farm and sells them at the events at Agriscience.<\/p>\n

\u201cPersonally, Farm Fair and other events work great for the Agriscience students, and people love to see what we do here. It\u2019s also a lot of fun to see what other people are working on, and gives me a chance to showcase what I\u2019ve been working on,\u201d Hehir said.<\/p>\n

Students also volunteered to help out at the haunted house, which ran throughout the day. It took place in the floral design lab, which the students decorated themselves. Then, several teens dressed up in scary Halloween costumes to scare incomers.
\nMichael Richardson, a junior in biotechnology, helped out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the haunted house is the best part of Farm Fair. It\u2019s always super fun, and people really seem to enjoy it,\u201d Richardson said.<\/p>\n

Overall, it was a success, and it was the highlight of the fair. Farm Fair is an exciting time for Agriscience students and the people who come to visit.<\/p>\n

As Navya Ajay, a sophomore, says, \u201cIt was the first event that I went to at agriscience\u2026 where I got to see what this program is really about.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an event that brings our community together; where people with various interests and different focuses in agriculture come together to celebrate the accomplishments and hard work of the students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
