Lodi students flock outside for AgVenture

Posted: Thursday, March 8, 2012 12:00 am | Updated: 12:29 pm, Thu Mar 8, 2012.

Bustling crowds milled through the Lodi Grape Festival Grounds, weaving through towering machines. Ponies, alpacas and goats were penned up in a petting zoo where eager little hands reached through to stroke soft fur. Inside, local growers and business owners explained their craft to inquiring groups.

This was the Lodi-Linden AgVenture 2012. More than 3,000 third-graders descended on the grounds to explore the journey from farm to fridge.
