Youth gardening for the Youth Farm + Market Project

I know my posts have been a bit food-heavy lately, but I just can’t help myself when the growing season is this good. So along those lines, I just have to mention a fantastic event this evening, from 5-7 p.m., to kick off a worthy project aimed at getting youth involved in the farming process, and bringing their locally-grown, organic produce to St. Paul residents.

Head over to the West Side’s El Burrito Mercado this evening for appetizers, and to learn more about the Youth Farm and Market Project. The project connects urban youth with their communities and the field, getting them digging in the dirt and enjoying the results of their hard work!

The youth do the planting, harvesting, and delivering of the produce. It’s a win-win for kids who learn more about the food supply and for St. Paulites who get to buy tasty, fresh veggies. Hope to see you at the kick-off tonight!

What: Happy Hour for the Youth Farm + Market Project
Where: El Burrito Mercado, 175 Cesar Chavez St, St Paul, 55107
