"Fresh From Florida" Resources for Parents, Teachers and Students

A variety of educational resources are available from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) and our partners for parents, teachers and students to utilize in remote classrooms throughout Florida. Covering everything from insect identification to agriculture history, these materials are free and downloadable. They include storybooks, activities, coloring books and recipes for healthy snacks. We hope this collection benefits our young Floridians during this period of distance learning and continues to inspire interest in Florida’s natural resource systems when our regular classroom schedules resume.
