Thanks everyone for coming out and making our 2019 Open Farm a huge success. We are so proud of this crew of hard working youth and staff! Thank you our event sponsors @upmcpinnacle and @members1stfcu
For two weeks in a row LEAF has been lucky enough to visit @keswickcreamery! Mel has so graciously spent the day working with and teaching our Level 1 interns about the dairy industry and cheesemaking process. There are so many pieces of wisdom that Mel left us with - one of which is her hope in young people to continue using their buying power to shift the demands of the food system and create a market for quality local food. Thank you @keswickcreamery for all of your time and everything you do and thank you to @papreferred for sponsoring us to make our Partner Farm Program possible!
Hope those with Farm Shares are enjoying their colorful veggies this week! Remember if you want to share what you made with our produce, tag us! We'd love to see what you make 😊
On Tuesday one of our crews went to Threefold to help pick berries and get a tour of their farm and see their unique products! Thanks Threefold for having us and thanks to #papreferred for sponsoring and making our Partner Farm Program
It's all tough and smiles after Crew A the "Meme Beans" won a vigorous crew challenge and Crew B the "Bee Swarm" endured a Poppy photo bomb 💪
