Bluegrass Urban Farm Friends (BUFF) is an opportunity for young people in the community to gain knowledge and experience of urban agriculture. As part of their agricultural training, participants learn plant and tree identification, how to care for plants and soil, and how to compost. SEEDS participants also engage in cooking classes and take field trips. Participants will split their time between FoodChain and Seedleaf learning how to grow food in gardens and in an aquaponic system, learn about the issues fueling food insecurity in our community and visiting local farms and environmentally important sites throughout Central Kentucky.
This program is open to middle and highschool students. Participants must have transportation to and from programming.
