Welcome to the Lexington County Farm-City Programs Website!

 

Mission Statement:

The purpose of the Lexington County Farm-City is to strengthen understanding of farm-city connections that provide food, fiber, and shelter. The programs of Farm-City tell the story of agriculture and industry to the public, as well as promoting active communications in telling the story of rural-urban interdependence in the food and fiber system. Farm-City develops programs that bring rural and urban people together and foster a greater understanding between rural and urban communities.
