CityPages picked Youth Farm as the "Best Urban Farm Minneapolis 2014." The gardens are "cultivated by students, ages 9 to 24, who move through a series of leadership levels. And while most urban farms are fledgling businesses that support themselves by selling food, Youth Farm is a nonprofit where those students get to take the fresh carrots, kale, apples, and butternut squash home with them — for free." http://www.citypages.com/bestof/2014/award/best-urban-farm-3324159/ Kale, Gardens, Fresh, Foods, Farms, City Farm
