On-The-Rise Farm to table

On-The-Rise teens raised chickens, goats, and vegetables while job shadowing to prepare for their youth-led Farm to Table event.
About this Event

The On-The-Rise Farm to Table Event is a youth-led experience that showcases the hard work, dedication, and growth of our teens throughout the season. During the spring, participants take part in hands-on learning by raising meat chickens and goats, planting and harvesting vegetables, and job shadowing professionals in different fields.

Through these experiences, the teens learn valuable life and employment skills such as responsibility, teamwork, food production, and event planning. All of their efforts come together in the Farm to Table event, where they proudly present and serve food they helped raise and grow themselves.

This event highlights the full journey from farm to plate while celebrating the teens’ commitment, personal growth, and the real-world skills they’ve developed along the way.
