Our 5 Guiding Principles:

#1: Education is the catalyst for changing the way students understand food and its connection to their health. At JVUF, our goal is to both improve and increase education in agriculture, food and nutrition.

#2: Hands-on learning is a formula for success. At JVUF, students learn by doing.

#3: Teachers are the front-line preparing Alabama children for life-long learning and achievement. At JVUF, providing materials and curriculums to support teachers helps them meet the needs of students in the 21st Century.

#4: Learning continues when a child goes home. At JVUF, we aim to provide families with the engaging, educational tools they need to make good choices in raising healthy, productive children.

#5: Demonstrating our impact on the community is important to us. At JVUF, we are results-driven and intent on measuring our effectiveness.
