Summer AgriCorps!
The Summer Agricorp program offers youth in the Harambee/Rivewest neighborhoods and beyond an extended summer experience on the farm. This program is open to Harambee/Riverwest youth ages 8-14.
Youth will:
- have a chance to get their hands dirty while being outside in the fresh air;
- connect to a local food source while learning how their food grows;
- taste vegetables and understand why they are nutritious for our bodies;
- harvest, wash, and prepare produce straight from the farm to create healthy, daily snacks;
- plan their own garden bed and watch it grow over the summer;
- have fun while learning with games and activities;
- create their own “products” to showcase at our Farmstand and learn to work the stand;
- experience other learning opportunities and activities such as human values, yoga, breathing/meditation, teamwork; and
- make new friends!!!
