Welcome! Thanks for joining me!
Hi, I’m Sara Preston, a 6th-generation farmer, agriculture educator, and speaker passionate about connecting people to the heart of farming.
I grew up on a small farm in southern Minnesota, where I first fell in love with agriculture and livestock, especially cows!
Today, I live just across the border in Kossuth County, Iowa, where my husband Jared and I are raising the 5th generation of our family to love and care for the land and animals just like we do. Together, we farm alongside his multigenerational farm family with four generations working together on our cow-calf, feedlot, corn, and soybean operation.
As an agriculture educator and founder of There’s A Farmer in My Classroom, I bring real-life farming stories and lessons to classrooms, helping students, whether they live in towns of 300 or cities of 300,000, better understand where their food comes from and who grows it. I also speak to farmer groups and ag organizations about bridging the gap between consumers and agriculture, giving farmers the tools and inspiration to share their own stories. In addition, I work with school groups and present at educational conferences to help educators see the opportunities and impact of bringing agriculture education into their classrooms.
Agriculture isn’t just what I do, it’s who I am. I often say, “Cows make me happy!” because it's true, but even more, helping people connect with agriculture and understand farming is what truly drives me.
If you’re looking for a speaker or educator who brings energy, authenticity, and real-world experience to ag literacy, advocacy, and education, I’d love to connect!
