Street Works Organic Garden and Market Project - Summer 2010

The organic garden and market project is currently in its third year.  This summer we partnered with a youth organization called Street Works, hosted by Emerge and Homegrown of Minneapolis. This group had multiple gardens with a prolific harvest that they sold at the Mill City Farmers Market.  They most enjoyed learning about business marketing through this entrepreneurial project.  YEA would like to recognize two of the participants, Olivia Athanasselis and Michael Sapho, who have taken the project to the next level by extending their harvest and selling season through the fall.  This shows great promise for these two as entrepreneurs.  Support them at the Mini Farmers Market on Plymouth Avenue North every Tuesday from 2:30 - 5:00 through November.  The picture below is from the Star Tribune - http://www.startribune.com/local/103420724.html?elr=KArksUUUoDEy3LGDiO7aiU.
