Raspberry Farming and Sustainable Agriculture: Youth-Led Raspberry Jam Project
Our Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture programs are expanding with an exciting new youth-led initiative—a community raspberry growing and jam-making project. This hands-on program teaches youth the fundamentals of sustainable agriculture, local food production, and climate-resilient gardening practices by growing fresh raspberries right here in our community. By cultivating their own raspberry crops, youth are actively contributing to local food systems and strengthening our community’s food sovereignty.
This season’s harvest will support a community-based food development project where youth will turn fresh raspberries into homemade raspberry jam. This experience connects agriculture with culinary skills, teaching preserving techniques, recipe development, and value-added food production. Our goal is to equip the next generation with the skills and knowledge needed to address food insecurity, promote healthy eating, and create sustainable solutions for the future.
