NAPA COUNTY FARM BUREAU FOUNDATION

The Napa County Farm Bureau Foundation is our 501c3 charitable foundation whose aim is to promote agriculture to the youth of Napa County and foster the next generation of Napa County farmers, grape growers, vineyard managers, winemakers and more.

The foundation hosts popular events such as our annual Ag Day where over a thousand elementary school children come to the Napa Expo fairgrounds and learn about all the facets of Napa County agriculture. We also host “Ag In The Classroom”, a popular Farm Bureau program that fosters agricultural education in Napa County schools and encourages our youth to become curious and inspired by agriculture, thereby encouraging a next generation of agricultural professionals in Napa County. Our Aldo Delfino Scholarship Fund annually awards tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships to high school seniors who are pursuing college study of agriculture.

The Napa County Farm Bureau is proud of the work that we do with Napa County youth to not only teach them about all the many facets of Napa County agriculture, but to encourage them to be the next generation of Napa County leaders.
