How to Celebrate National Agriculture Day

March is National Agriculture Month, a time to recognize the hard work and dedication of farmers, ranchers, and agricultural workers across the country. And today, on National Agriculture Day, we celebrate the industry that feeds, clothes, and sustains us all. Agriculture is more than just farming—it’s a vital part of our economy and a cornerstone of our communities.

At Wilders, agriculture is at the heart of everything we do. From raising 100% Wagyu beef and Berkshire Pork with a commitment to quality to supporting fellow farmers, we believe in strengthening local agriculture for future generations. Today is a reminder to not only appreciate where our food comes from but also to support the farmers and producers who make it possible!

How to Support and Celebrate National Agriculture Day

1. Buy Local & Support Farmers

One of the best ways to celebrate agriculture is by supporting local farmers and ranchers. Choosing locally raised meat, produce, and dairy ensures your dollars stay within the community while also providing you with fresher, higher-quality food.  Whether it’s stopping by a farmers' market, purchasing directly from a local farm, or seeking out restaurants that source locally, every small choice makes a big impact!

2. Learn About Agriculture & Share Its Importance

Many people don’t realize how much work goes into producing the food on their table. National Agriculture Day is the perfect time to learn more about farming and the agricultural industry as a whole. Follow farms and agricultural organizations on social media, read up on farming practices, or take a deeper look into where your food comes from. If you already know the value of agriculture, use today as a chance to share that knowledge!

3. Show Appreciation for Farmers & Ranchers

A simple “thank you” can go a long way. Whether it’s a social media post, a handwritten note, or an in-person conversation at a farmers’ market, showing appreciation for those who work in agriculture helps highlight their importance. National Agriculture Day is the perfect time to reflect on all that farmers do and recognize the dedication behind every meal!

Agriculture is at the core of our communities, economy, and way of life. Whether by supporting local farms, learning about the industry, or saying thank you, everyone can play a part in celebrating National Agriculture Day!
