Youth Wellness Experience
At Still Rise Farms, our Youth Wellness Experience Program is a dynamic initiative designed to engage and educate children in a holistic approach to well-being. Through a series of educational activities, we aim to empower young minds by imparting knowledge about the origins of food, cultivating their own vegetables, and instilling the significance of healthy eating habits.
