A 3-week program for youth 16-24 yrs old to learn about healthy eating, cooking, food systems, farming, business basics, and farm stand marketing. The program will meet Monday-Wednesday from 9:00 am - 3:00 at the Food Forest site at College of the Redwoods Del Norte. Students can expect hands-on learning activities and lessons; working on the Food Forest site planting, weeding, and harvesting; preparing lunch and cleaning up; running an onsite farm stand and selling at local farmers markets.
