Kendra Downing of the Cambridge FFA Chapter in Illinois has owned and operating the Downing Daughters’ Farm Stand for the last four years. She buys pumpkins, honey, mums, popcorn, Indian corn, broom corn, and straw from local wholesales, selling them in her retail store, which is a 15 feet by 50 feet rustic barn. In September and October, she opens the farm stand on Fridays and Saturdays. Downing is supported by her parents Crista and Zane, and her FFA advisor, Trenton Taber.
Downing shared more about her FFA story with Broadcast Desk Intern Hannah Whetstone.
