Each year we plant an assortment of vegetables and herbs. Any seeds or seedlings that you could donate would be a big help.
Besides providing a safe and fun environment for the teens to be together, they learn the skills of farming: planting and harvesting. We structure their involvement so that they can also learn employment skills. They must sign in and sign out. They get points based on their hard work, dependability, punctuality, and respect for both supervisors and co-workers. A bonus based on the points they have accumulated at the end of the season is awarded to the young 'farmers'.
