"how do i pay for that?"

While we believe these tours provide a high quality and worthwhile experience for the price, we understand that it is a lot of money. Students who have attended past tours have found that there is quite a bit of support available for student experiences like these.

Fundraising ideas

We are a group of Oregon agriculturalists and Oregon FFA alumni who have a deep love of traveling. We know that travel can get us out of our comfort zones, teach us new skills, and open our eyes to different ways of doing things. 

Tours are primarily organized and led by Jordyn Coon, a freelance ag event planner. She is supported by a committee made up of Mike & Tami Coon and Neal & Pam Lucht, agriculturalists from the Willamette Valley, Derek Burbank and Bel D'Acquisto, Past State Officers. 

*These tours are not sponsored or facilitated by Oregon FFA. 

Our goal is to give young adults opportunities to explore the world.

"This couldn’t have possibly been better. There was such a fun culture set for the group and we always knew we were safe and organized! I didn’t realize how much this trip could impact me and change the way I view the world and agriculture."

— New Zealand Tour Attendee

Past Tour Reviews

"There was a lot of effort put into this trip to make sure all participants saw many different parts of the ag industry. With all travels, hotels, food, and tours covered, as parents we felt it was a great investment in our child’s future."

— Parent of Attendee

Past tour reviews

"This definitely opened my eyes and mind to seeing that not everyone does things the way we do them, and just because they do it different than what we do traditionally, doesn’t make it “weird’. We have so much to learn from other cultures!"
