Welcome to Strathmore FFA!

Our unique program not only supports students from the Strathmore area but includes students from the Porterville area who are involved in the Emerging Agriculture Technology (EAT) Pathway.  Strathmore FFA was chartered in 1936.  Today we have four main agriculture teachers in addition to about a half dozen EAT pathway teachers as well as 250 students across the Porterville Unified School District.  Our program is housed on a 13 acre facility, where we focus on row crops, as well as more permanent crops such as citrus.  Much of what we grow is sold in our Spartan Farmers Market. 

FFA is a dynamic youth organization that changes lives and prepares members for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education.

FFA develops members’ potential and helps them discover their talent through hands-on experiences, which give members the tools to achieve real-world success.

Members are future chemists, veterinarians, government officials, entrepreneurs, bankers, international business leaders, teachers, and premier professionals in many career fields.

FFA is an intracurricular student organization for those interested in agriculture and leadership. It is one of the three components of agriculture education.

FFA is not just for students who want to be production farmers; FFA also welcomes members who aspire to careers as teachers, doctors, scientists, business owners and more. For this reason, the name of the organization was updated in 1988 after a vote of national convention delegates to reflect the growing diversity and new opportunities in the industry of agriculture.

FFA continues to help the next generation rise up to meet those challenges by helping its members to develop their own unique talents and explore their interests in a broad range of agricultural career pathways. So today, we are still the Future Farmers of America. But, we are the Future Biologists, Future Chemists, Future Veterinarians, Future Engineers and Future Entrepreneurs of America, too.

Today, the National FFA Organization remains committed to the individual student, providing a path to achievement in premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education. Our members live the motto Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, and Living to Serve FFA members rise to the challenge of service embracing members of all walks of life united through FFA. We Are FFA.
