What is the age range to be a "youth" farmer? Just wondering.

This is a great idea ... students who are running a farmer's market. This certainly is a benefit to the community and to those who may enjoy the goods sold at the market.

Michele: What a wonderful opportunity for children to learn how to raise healthy vegetables. The children also learn how to work together to create something positive for their community. I rather see stories like this on the 6 o'clock news. Thank you for posting this.

Carol- Most of the young "farmers" are of high school age pos 16-18. I believe that they also get class credit for participating in this venture.

Joan, Lawrence, Lisa and Joanne- Thanks for stopping by and commenting- It just great to see good positive events by our young people. This type of experience will remain with them for years to come.
