Youth Garden

Planting seeds for a fruitful future.

The Youth Garden serves young leaders ages 14-21 as they gain hands-on experience with urban agriculture. This program combines classroom and experiential learning, with classes on cooking/nutrition, food justice, financial literacy, job readiness, and youth development workshops.

All garden produce is sold through a Community Supported Agriculture Program (CSA), restaurants and pop-up farm stands.  All revenue generated from sales helps provides stipends, supplies and instruction. 

PROGRAM BENEFITS
