River City Youth Ops has partnered with chef CJ Callahan of Hogwash Whiskey Den and chef Austin Conklin of Inland Pacific Kitchen to create a five-course garden dinner. The gourmet meal features produce grown by local youth participants in River City Youth Ops' urban farm program. Wine and a featured cocktail will be served. Vegetarian option available.
Another Summer has come to a close, and what a great Summer it has been! From farmers' markets to garden parties, we've had a great time connecting with the community and mentoring the youth of West Central. We've achieved a lot of great things together during the harvest months. Now the days are shorter and the weather's colder, but we have some great things to achieve yet!
River City Youth Ops has reached some major milestones this year. For the first time ever, we have had a full time Farm Manager — the amazing Maddy Halverson — on staff. Among many of her duties, Maddy has been charged with developing a comprehensive curriculum that not only teaches job skills, but also works to recognize the needs of the whole person.
