Join us March 21-25, 2022 for MAEF’s 12th annual Ag Literacy Week!
Volunteer Readers purchase our selected book for $10, then schedule a visit to a local K-3rd grade classroom where they read the story, complete a classroom activity and share their experiences in agriculture. The book is donated to the classroom library, along with lessons for the classroom teacher to extend the students’ learning about agriculture.
MAEF’s Ag Literacy Week program allows YOU to be the face of agriculture for students who may otherwise never know the important role agriculture plays in their daily lives.

MAEF Highlights
Lab in a Box-Dairy
MAEF’s Lab in a Box program is an cross-curricular resource kit that provides K-5 classroom teachers with everything they need to incorporate agriculture into their classroom in a fun, engaging way. The ag-themed hands-on lesson kit connects curriculum concepts to everyday life on the farm, careers in ag and Maryland ag products!
Using the book, “Chuck’s Ice Cream Wish”, the Dairy Lab in a Box will take students on an adventure to discover more about the dairy industry; from the work dairy farmers do to provide us with nutritious and delicious milk to the science behind some of our favorite dairy products.
