A great program and especially knowing the program for children.

Excellent program and most informative speeches. Labs were so interesting. The VIC program is wonderful – Every school should have this info – and educate our children and parents.

Thank you!!!!

I enjoyed eating the fruits and learning about how the phytochemicals of fruit can benefit you.



I enjoyed visiting the two labs and listening to the students who are science majors talk about their duties and their education and future plans.

The presentation was awesome! I will be majoring in biology and I loved the labs. I am looking forward to atten Texas A&M University during the fall. And the fruit was delicious.

Thank you!!!!

Thank you for the tour. It was very informational and I liked the topic very much. It made me consider studying further in horticulture.

Food is very good! I never knew that phytochemicals impacted food this much.

I enjoyed seeing all the labs and seeing what researchers did, and I want more maroon carrots!

We saw how scientists create new varieties of vegetables and fruits and how they try to find which of their ingredients are most important for our health. We also saw how they select importent ingredients from fruits and how they use them. I liked all of them, and that is why I mention them.

Thank you very very much...

I really liked the purple colour of the carots, and of course I was very impressed with the sweet onions. When I came here I saw the new machines that take part in services in the labs.

Connie and VFIC staff,

Thank you so very much for taking the time to give our Rio Grande Valley students a tour of the facility. Your presentation generated so many questions from the group! Even though they had appeared quiet and shy, they were loud and inquisitive on the way home about the VFIC. You may have some future educators who want to wear the maroon carrot! Anyway, great seeing you all and thank you again. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!
