'We need to teach agriculture to the community, and if we fail, that's our fault as adults and as educators. Okay. Children need to know where their food comes from and what better way to do than put us all together… Come with mom and dad, brother and sister, or you can try a lot of the product,' said Nick Mobilia, with the Erie County Farm Bureau.
JET 24/FOX 66's own Jennifer Mobilia was teaching the kids about grape farming and the health benefits of drinking fresh grape juice.
