Farewell to our 2018 Summer Crew!

8/21/2018

 

The AMAZING 2018 Summer Farm Crew

We are in deep gratitude to the strong, loving and joyful humans who worked the farm, modeled honest communication and meaningful work for young people and made it all happen this season.

Our amazing Summer Staff (top left to bottom right): Laura, our Farm and Food Justice Educator; Natalia, YFP alum and Assistant Farm Manager; Rose joined us for their 3rd season on Farm Crew; Julian, YFP alum and Summer Intern; Ann, Lead Farmer and Educator; Elizabeth, Youth Coordinator, Intern through the CU Food Systems Minor; and Penny, farm dog extraordinaire.
One summer program participant recounted what the strong mentorship meant to them:
"Working at Youth Farm Project this past summer was one of the most educational and rewarding experiences I have had in my 14 years of life. The strong women leaders on the farm really made me feel like I was capable and strong and I could do anything I wanted to."

Summer Highlights:

Our wee lambs grew over the summer. ​Moving the lamb fencing and shepherding the flock to fresh grass every week was every crew's Favorite Chore!

FOOD!!!


We cooked with local chefs, brought dinner to Southside Community Center's Summer Camp, and made a delicious farm dinner for all of our parents. And of course we wouldn't be anywhere without pesto!

​GIAC's Skate Camp came to lend a hand every Thursday morning. In the end of July they helped the Teen Summer Crew harvest that delicious YFP Garlic! 

So much happens so fast... From garlic harvest to new friends. We worked together through all of it!!!
