Come on out and hear about the adventures of the youth farmer's first season with Urban Roots.
Urban Roots is a youth development program that uses sustainable agriculture as means to effect lasting change for youth participants, and to nourish East Austin residents who currently have limited access to healthy foods. Young people cultivate a local 2 - 5 acre, diversified organic farm, selling a portion of their harvest in the Austin area and donating a portion to local hunger relief programs. Through this process young people can connect to the land and learn the benefits of growing, eating, selling and donating organic food, as well as leadership, entrepreneurial and life skills, and the importance of giving back to their community.
At this month's Slow Session- Learn more, meet the folks that manage this inspiring program, and show your support for this amazing community asset.
*A small selection of fresh snacks & beverages will be available- donated by Sara Weber.
