Henney, development director of Working Theory Farm, took liaisons Holly Van-Edmonds and Barbara Long for a great tour of the farm, along with his dog Bagel. It may be late winter, but there is a lot of work going on, including winter crops, pruning, seed propagation, and prep for the summer’s garden. They learned more about the youth development /mentoring that is central to the farm’s mission, food distribution, and important community partnerships (such as Centro Cultural, another Impact Partner). Working Theory Farm has partnered with Harkins House since 2019 to welcome adjudicated youth to the farm once a week and provide paid internships throughout the summer. Henney considers this a different model of workforce development.
