Ag Aware Week is a community-wide awareness initiative focused on the importance of agriculture in Mesa County. From specialty crops to livestock, agriculture plays a vital role in our local economy, environment, and quality of life. This week is designed to bring the community together to learn, connect, and better understand how agriculture shapes our region.

Ag Aware Week is coordinated by AgriWest, with events and activities hosted by agricultural and community organizations across the county.

• Producers, including ranchers, farmers, and growers

• Community members who want to better understand local agriculture

• Businesses, students, and educators

• Policymakers, nonprofits, and service organizations

If you live, work, or eat in Mesa County, agriculture impacts you—and Ag Aware Week is for you.

Ag Aware Week is a collaborative effort. Community partners including agricultural organizations, nonprofits, agencies, and educational institutions are invited to host events or programs under the Ag Aware Week banner.
