During the study tour, the students visited a variety of local agricultural enterprises, including a plant propagation unit, poultry production and processing plants, a horse breeding ranch, mushroom production and a winery. The group also visited small villages in the mountains of northern Greece, an agricultural technical school, a farm being managed by a AFS graduate, as well as archaeological sites. Cynthia Lynn Morris , a senior from Mountainburg, said she found the study visit to Greece to be very rewarding. She said the visit broaden her own ideals and purposes and allowed her to experience Greek culture, customs and food. I have met people that I would consider lifelong friends.
