This summer, Peyton Bluethenthal has been a dedicated farm hand with Growing High Point, building on several years of volunteering with our team. Peyton brings steady commitment, curiosity, and a genuine love for hands‑on work. When asked what motivates them, Peyton shared that “it’s very rewarding to work with my hands and help out my city.”

Outside of farm work, Peyton is a talented sewer with hopes of turning that passion into a future business. Their creativity, work ethic, and community‑minded approach make Peyton a standout member of our youth team! 🌱✨

Guided farm tour
Storytelling + community conversations
Ethical chicken harvesting workshop
Hands‑on processing education
Farm‑to‑table community dinner

Our Growing High Point youth employees recently spent the day at N.C. A&T University Farm for an in‑depth, hands‑on tour led by Mark Paylor. They explored large‑scale agricultural operations, learned about modern growing practices and farm technology, and walked through production areas, equipment, and research plots.

This experience was made possible by Resilience High Point / The Bridge, which coordinated the visit and provided transportation so every student could participate. Opportunities like this help our youth see how their work fits into the broader food system and spark new ideas for their future. 🌱✨

High Point University’s Survey Research Center, in partnership with the Greater High Point Food Alliance, is conducting a community survey to better understand food access, nutrition, and the challenges facing families across the Greater High Point area. Residents in zip codes 27260, 27262, 27263, 27265, 27282, and 27370 are invited to share their experiences so partners can better shape programs that meet real community needs.

GHPFA staff can visit partner sites during service hours to answer questions and encourage participation. By sharing this opportunity widely, we can gather meaningful information that strengthens our understanding of local food issues and supports more effective solutions.

The full Growing High Point farm team - youth employees, FarmHers, and interns - spent time last week supporting the Howard Place Urban Farm. Their work included mulching, weeding, and helping prepare the space for fall crops. The team brought great energy, moving several tons of compost and mulch, and their efforts helped ensure the garden remains a productive space!

The Piedmont School – John Yowell Academy is expanding its partnership with Growing High Point this fall! Students are returning for their junior seminar class and joining a new vocational internship where they’ll build practical skills, explore career pathways, and take part in hands‑on projects that make a real impact in the community.

The internship track gives students deeper responsibilities and life‑skills training that prepares them for future employment and post‑graduation opportunities.
Andre Davis, our community liaison, will guide both groups throughout the year, helping students grow confidence, develop strong work habits, and understand the value of community‑based work!
