Georgia Foundation for Agriculture welcomes Kay to staff

Kim-Cora Kay has joined the Georgia Foundation for Agriculture staff as an educational program assistant with the Georgia Ag Experience mobile classroom. Prior to joining the GFA staff, Kay was the McDuffie County Farm Bureau county coordinator for six and a half years.

The GAE mobile classroom, created by the GFA, is housed in a 36-foot trailer that gives third through fifth-grade students and consumers a chance to virtually visit a cattle, cotton, fruit, peanut, pecan, poultry, and vegetable farm as well as a horticulture nursery and timber stand. Colorful farm photos, interactive technology and displays of products made from various ag commodities highlight the importance of Georgia agriculture to our daily lives. All exhibits and lessons that are part of the GAE mobile classroom have been professionally designed to meet STEM curriculum standards.

Kay has a passion for connecting people, especially young people, with the importance of farming and where their food comes from. She looks forward to sharing the story of agriculture in fun and meaningful ways through the mobile classroom.

She is originally from Prince Edward Island, Canada, but Georgia quickly won her over with its beautiful landscapes, friendly people and strong agricultural roots.

Kay and her husband, Colin, love spending time outdoors. The couple has one son, Dane. Whether they’re fishing, exploring, or taking care of their small pecan orchard, they always find ways to enjoy nature and stay connected to the land.

As of May, the Georgia Ag Experience has visited every Georgia county since it began traveling to schools and festivals in January 2021.
