Teen Ag Farm Tour at Erickson Fields Preserve
Jul 26, 2023, 10:00 am - 11:00 am, at Erickson Fields
Join the Teen Ag Crew for a behind-the-scenes tour of their food bank garden at Erickson Fields Preserve! One-hour tours will be offered on three dates: 4 p.m. on May 24, 10 a.m. on July 26, and 4 p.m. on September 20.
Learn about the Teen Agricultural Crew, a social entrepreneurial internship where a crew of teens ages 14-18 raise vegetables naturally for the local food system, including food pantries and public schools. Under the guidance of MCHT staff and with the help of many volunteers, the Teen Ag Crew harvests over 20,000 pounds annually.
MCHT staff will also share exciting updates about the Aldermere & Erickson Campaign to raise $3.8 Million for critical new infrastructure and equipment at Aldermere Farm and Erickson Fields.
