What started with horses grew into a lifelong passion for agricultural education 🐴🌾

Lindsay Devaurs first joined an agriculture class because her FFA chapter had a horse judging team. Today, she’s an assistant professor of agricultural education at Chico State, helping prepare future ag teachers for their own classrooms.

She also serves as faculty advisor for Chico State and Butte College Field Day, bringing together students, faculty, and FFA and 4-H members from across California and beyond.

Her advice to students?

“Agriculture is a vast and ever-changing industry—stay curious and keep on learning.”

And outside of the classroom, Lindsay can often be found baking Bundt cakes during the holidays or looking forward to her next French bulldog. 🐾

🎃 Pumpkins. Trolley rides. Face painting. Games. Music. Food. And plenty of fall fun.

Chico State is kicking off harvest season with its first-ever Chico State Fall Festival, 11 a.m.–4 p.m. Saturday, October 3, at the University Farm.

Admission and parking are FREE.

Bring the family to explore our 800-acre student-operated Farm, take a trolley tour, enjoy games and face painting, grab a bite to eat, and pick out a pumpkin grown by Chico State students. Adults can also enjoy Farmers Brewing Co. b**r.

You can even guess the weight of a pumpkin for a chance to win a gift basket packed with produce, flowers, nuts, cheese and meats from the Jay Gilbert University Farm Store.

The festival grew out of a bumper crop of pumpkins—and gives the community another way to experience the hands-on learning happening every day at the Farm.

📅 Saturday, October 3
⏰ 11 a.m.–4 p.m.
📍 University Farm, 311 Nicholas C Schouten Lane
🎟️ Free admission and parking
