On a sunny winter’s day, together with Coach Tate, Jeremy Peaches and three senior students in the program—Taylor, Chris and Daryl—we walk among the garden beds of brightly colored Swiss chard, mustard greens and kale. Unusual brassicas such as Romanesco broccoli and purple cauliflower grow as row crops. Adding to the farm’s acreage, six large greenhouses are under construction. Surrounding the property is an additional 21 acres of native brush and trees. The men are excited to elaborate on gardening, soil and giving back to the community.
