Volunteers

From the host farm’s extended family to members of local 4-H clubs and FFA chapters, these volunteers help with everything from clearing tables to educating young children in the petting zoo. Their willingness to help makes the Stearns County Breakfast on the Farm possible. Thanks, volunteers!

Tour Guides

The Stearns County Breakfast on the Farm volunteer tour guides have one of the most important jobs at the Breakfast. They guide visitors around the farm while explaining how the farm works and answering visitors’ questions. Our tour guides are dairy farmers, consultants and other agricultural experts.

Guest Speakers

The guided tours at the Stearns County Breakfast on the Farm include stops at several learning stations. These stations feature short presentations by our guest speakers – the farm’s veterinarian, nutritionist, conservationist and others.
