The purpose of creating a youth farmers market is to offer students, public schools and community members an opportunity to purchase fresh, locally grown produce.
Food Justice is communities exercising their right to grow, sell, and eat healthy food. Healthy food is fresh, nutritious, affordable, culturally-appropriate and grown locally with care for the well-being of the land, workers, and animals. People practicing food justice leads to a strong local food system, self-reliant communities and a healthy environment.
