About the event
Join Go Farm Connect, USDA and the Renewing The Countryside Urban Ag Team for a tour of the Urban Roots facilites co-led by staff and youth! Then we'll hear about youth loans and other resources to support young people pursuing agricultural enterprises.
The purpose of this event, which will be held at Rivoli Bluff Farm in St Paul, is to showcase the work of Urban Roots in engaging youth in growing food, cooking, practicing conservation, and career exploration; and to learn about USDA’s Youth Farm Loan program as a way to support young agricultural entrepreneurs. Part of the event will be an opportunity to share about challenges, needs and opportunities for youth with the USDA staff. If you work with youth, this will be a great chance to engage with the USDA on how they can better show up to support youth programming and entrepreneurship in the Twin Cities.
