Little Earth Urban Farm

Meet the Team Turning a Minneapolis Superfund Site into an Urban Farm | Eater

"Started as a community youth employment and education program, this farm hires local kids and elders to teach hands-on gardening, traditional food knowledge, and financial skills; children’s wages are saved for essentials like school clothes and participants learn budgeting and pride in producing food. First launched with about 25 kids and now serving dozens more each season, the program has helped reduce school skipping and involvement in harmful activities by offering green jobs, food access, and intergenerational cultural learning—turning unfamiliar vegetables into favorites and growing into a vital local institution." - Kate Nelson
