Sara's project has youth as young as 4½ and as old as 17 learning about bees and working hands on with the hives to take care of them and eventually collect their own honey. Sara often volunteers at county fairs, elementary and high schools, and other organizations to inform the public about the significance and necessity of the honeybee, as well as their wonderful products.

The goals for Cutrignelli Apiaries is to help save the bees, educate the public about their importance, the process of beekeeping, as well as selling the products of the hives of which Cutrignelli Fattoria produces.
