For the last time as Miss West Virginia, happy Farmer Friday!

I am so honored to have the President of the American Farm Bureau Federation, Zippy Duvall, share his story.

Zippy is a proud advocate for agriculture. He is a major proponent of the Farm Bureau and believes everyone can benefit from being a member. The Farm Bureau can provide so much more than agricultural policy. It provides leadership and public speaking opportunities, community, resources, and a way to get your voice heard. Thank you President Duvall for being a strong voice in the agriculture industry in America!

Happy Farmer Friday!

I am so excited to have Kelsey Riggi from the Libera Organization to talk about the Lila Bear Explor(her) Club!

"The Lila Bear Explor(her) Club is a social enterprise started by Libera, Inc. Libera, Inc is a nonprofit organization that has been empowering women and youth in West Virginia to find freedom since 2015. When you support the Lila Bear Explor(her) Club, you are helping to educate, employ, and empower at-risk youth in WV — especially youth transitioning out of foster care."

This social enterprise provides educational subscription boxes that encourage youth to enjoy nature and learn more about STEM fields. These boxes are themed around inspirational Appalachian women. I am so thrilled to say that the Miss West Virginia Organization has partnered with Kelsey for their upcoming box (to be released in June). It will be Miss West Virginia 2022 themed, and will be full of agricultural education items and activities. Watch the video for a box reveal!

Here is where YOU come in! We are so excited to partner with Solar Holler. From May 1st-10th, when you schedule a FREE virtual home visit, Solar Holler will donate one Lila Bear Box to a child in West Virginia. Follow the link to learn more and sign up for a visit!
