Over the past decade agriculture and population in rural Iowa have seen a dramatic decline. There are fewer people producing our food today than ever before. At E.A.T. we believe it is crucial to educate our citizens about Iowa's role in food production and environmental awareness.

We believe in promoting Iowa Agriculture through the education of our children... our most valuable resource. That is why we have teamed up with Universities and other leading Iowa businesses such as Jacobson Transportation and Stine Seeds to provide "hands on education" for our kids.

At EXCHANGE CITY, kids learn the value of agriculture and food production in an exciting 8 week course. They learn skills such as check writing, business loan applications, loan repayment, and much more. Exchange City boasts more than fourteen life-like store fronts where kids learn real world experiences.
