Plot twist: one event somehow turned into FOUR. 💁‍♀️🔥🤯

What started as a single educational event on 5/13 quickly turned into a statewide adventure for our PEEP Ambassadors! You could find our team at Refugio, Zapata, and Washington County Ag Days, as well as Texas Legislative Ag Day, all sharing the story of the poultry industry.

At each event, our ambassadors educated attendees about poultry production, its impact on Texas agriculture, and how poultry products make their way from the farm to consumers. More than 1600 individuals in total!🫳🎤

We are incredibly grateful to our PEEP Ambassadors for traveling across the state and helping bridge the gap between poultry production and the public through agriculture education. A special thank you to our Program Specialist, Stephanie Klein, for leading the PEEP Program and coordinating these outreach efforts alongside event hosts across Texas. 🐓💛
