America's Heartland, the award-winning, broadcast public television show, will premier Episode 916 on Wednesday, December 25, featuring a segment on our own California Farm Academy (CFA). Check local listings for times and set those DVRs! Filming occurred during 2013 classes at the Farm on Putah Creek. The farm looked beautiful and our beginning farmers even better. Land-Based Learning's CFA is getting national television coverage and we couldn't be more excited about it! Plan to watch Wednesday, December 25 and Merry Christmas to all.
