Published on Feb 21, 2025

Maysville Community and Technical College is thrilled to announce the 15th annual Farm and Family Night, a unique opportunity for community members to connect, learn and celebrate the vital role of agriculture in our region.

Presented in partnership with this year’s title sponsor, Meadowview Regional Medical Center, the event is designed for local farm-based businesses, individuals interested in agriculture and horticulture, and anyone seeking to learn more about critical topics such as local food systems, livestock management, crop and grain production, and insect and pest management.

“As a teacher, I understand that we’re always learning and sharing ideas to help each other better understand topics such as local food systems, livestock management, crop and grain production and insect and pest management,” said Carrie Taylor, Associate Professor of Adult Agriculture at MCTC. “We will provide fun-filled children’s sessions too.  Many of our knowledgeable extension agents and other educators will offer promising solutions on a diversity of community-based topics such as healthcare and culinary ideas.”

Some highlights of the event include educational presentations and workshops, fun-filled children’s sessions, vendor and exhibitors and great prizes and giveaways. In addition to door prizes throughout the evening, attendees will have the chance to win a 7 cu. ft. freezer from Rural King.
