Our Community Stories exhibit celebrates the vital role of agriculture in the growth and development of Mission and surrounding district, where the efforts of agricultural workers sustained the community and enhanced its well-being.
In order to help you understand the essence of the agricultural industry without being overwhelmed by an avalanche of facts, we have divided the presentation into four areas of interest, each presented as a short story:
Agriculture: an overview of the development of our various agricultural industries Berrying – A Timeline: a history of the berry industry in Mission
Fairs: an account of how we celebrate our agricultural achievements
Industries: a short overview of related industries
We hope you enjoy this presentation of agriculture as a foundation of Mission’s history. We hope too that you will take time in your travels to visit Mission and our Museum.
