What is Agmagination?
Agmagination is our farm’s interactive dramatic play area where kids can explore the exciting world of agriculture careers. Through imaginative role-play, children step into the shoes of farmers and agricultural professionals while discovering how food and fiber are produced. In our mini farm town setting, they can participate in hands-on activities connected to careers such as beekeeper, veterinarian, produce vendor, dairy farmer, chef, and more. These activities help children learn about the many important jobs that support agriculture. Through play, creativity, and exploration, Agmagination brings the story of farming to life.
