The Forreston FFA Alumni boasts one of the best lunch stands in the area. Our food coordinators, Deb Bauman and Becky Miller, have had a lot of satisfied customers who are served delicious meat products from Eickman's Meats of Seward and homemade desserts like apple pie, brownies, and monster cookies. We have some great meal deals, too, so bring the whole family for lunch!
