🌱 Youth Internship Program – Week 6! 🌱
We’ve reached the final week of our summer internship, and it’s been one to remember! From garden cleanups at Memminger Elementary and Burke High to harvesting pears and peppers at the Urban Farm, our interns wrapped up strong 💪🍐🌶️

They dove into a sustainable agriculture lesson with Garden Educators Amy and Lilly, helped build a new walkway at the farm, and enjoyed some well-earned lunches at local favorites — shout out to and for fueling our team! 💚🌮

We’re beyond proud of everything our crew accomplished this summer — thank you for growing with us! 🌿

💚 Youth Internship Update – Week 4! 💚

We’re just past the halfway mark of our Summer 2025 Youth Internship Program, and it’s already been a season of growth—on the farm and in the lives of our interns!

This year’s cohort has been digging deep—literally and figuratively—through hands-on work at the Urban Farm at Enston Home, life skills workshops, and community engagement through our weekly Farm Stand.

When asked to share highlights from the first half of the program, here’s what some of our interns had to say:

“Running the Farm Stand was my first time doing anything like this—it was my first time running a cash register!”

“I loved making flower bouquets for the Farm Stand—it felt really creative.”

Today, our team worked together to build a new walkway to enhance the Urban Farm entryway—a beautiful reminder that every step forward is built together. 💚

Stay tuned as we head into the final two weeks of this journey!

Produce Spotlight - Potatoes 🥔

Did you know your fries have a fascinating past? 🤯 The potato was first domesticated in the Andes Mountains (Peru & Bolivia!) thousands of years ago, feeding ancient civilizations long before its global glow-up! ✨ We've got potatoes growing at the School gardens and the Urban Farm that are getting ready for harvest! How do you know they're ready since they're underground? Once all the greenery has dried up, it's go-time! 🥔 This week you can expect some red potatoes!!!
