Community Lunch: A meal making a difference.
At FortWhyte Farms, Community Lunch is a time to put new skills into practice and connect with the community.
FortWhyte Farms is a working farm and award-winning social enterprise that bridges communities, creates learning and employment opportunities for youth, and grows healthy food for our community.
As a social enterprise, our bottom line goes beyond financial gain to include social and economic benefits that impact the lives of individuals, families, and communities.
FortWhyte Farms partners with high schools and youth-serving organizations to identify students who would benefit from learning experiences outside of a classroom setting. These organizations then bring young people to FortWhyte Farms to learn about nature, food, farming, health and wellness.
As young people move through the stages of programming they travel the road to self-reliance starting with day programming with their peers, into summer employment, into leadership training, and then into work or further education in the community.
