Texas Farm Bureau names 2025-26 homeschool garden grant recipients
October 6, 2025 – By Emmy Powell – Communications Specialist – Texas Farm Bureau (TFB) named the recipients of the homeschool garden grants for 2025-2026.
Fifteen grants, up to $200, were awarded to homeschool educators across the Lone Star State for projects that help increase agricultural literacy and awareness.
The Homeschool Garden Grant Program allows students to make the connection to agriculture through caring for a garden project and linking the concepts they learned into their curriculum.
“These grants give homeschool educators and their students the opportunity to explore food production and agriculture in meaningful ways,” said Jordan Bartels, TFB associate director of Organization Division, Education and Outreach. “Through science and gardening projects, students gain hands-on experience that builds both knowledge and appreciation for the farmers and ranchers who provide our food.”
The awarded projects provide students with hands-on experiential learning about agriculture and food production.
