East High Youth Farm/Goodman Youth Grow Local Farm
5017 Sudbury Way
The Goodman Youth Grow Local Farm engages a diverse population of elementary, middle and high school students in hands-on, farm-based education in an outdoor classroom. Youth are actively involved in the entire process of running a small-scale organic farm – from raising seedlings in the East High greenhouse to harvesting produce at the Youth Farm on Madison’s east side. Most of the produce is eaten by the students, or donated to the Goodman Community Center’s food pantry. We also have ten community garden plots on the Youth Farm site, where neighbors and other community members grow food for their families and friends. Our community gardeners range in age from 5 to 86! Contact Travus at travus@rootedwi.org about plot information.
