\n\u00a1Este mes, le preguntamos a nuestro equipo de FMK algunas preguntas para que pueda conocerlas mejor! <\/p>\n

Farmers Markets for Kids (FMK) is a program that provides free, bilingual food-based activities for children at select farmers markets. 170 Farm Stand is one of three locations with FMK programming New York City, and our workshops are supported by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Our FMK educators lead classes throughout each farm stand day that encourage children to eat more fresh\u00a0fruits and vegetables\u00a0by engaging them in hands-on activities. Children explore fruits and vegetables, taste recipes featuring seasonal produce, and receive a\u00a0$2 Health Buck coupon<\/a>\u00a0that they can use to buy fruits and vegetables at the farm stand.

My favorite part of my job is working with the youth and the families. I like being able to educate the youth and the families on nutrition and why it is important for their health.

Tambi\u00e9n me gusta que los padres puedan participar en muchas de las actividades, por lo que tienen la oportunidad de vincularse con sus hijos y aprender algo nuevo sobre los frutas y verduras.<\/div>\n

Gardening Classes at Creative Leaders Summer Camp \/ Clases de Jardiner\u00eda en Creative Leaders Summer Camp<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

This summer\u00a0a group of students from New Settlement’s Creative Leaders summer camp\u00a0joined our Community Engagement Assistant, Violeta Valdez, for four lessons about gardening and nutrition\u00a0in New Settlement Community Center’s rooftop garden. Violeta helped\u00a0the students\u00a0make connections between the food on their plate, where it came from, and\u00a0the journey that it took to get there. In one\u00a0lesson\u00a0called \u201cCutting out the Middle Man\u201d, Violeta showed the students all of the steps that our food takes from the farm to the supermarket.\u00a0They\u00a0learned what foods can grow locally in our region and what can’t, and the reasons why supermarkets often don’t sell local food. Then Violeta\u00a0showed them how different the process looks when you buy\u00a0food from farmer’s markets\u00a0– there are less “middle men”, less harmful effects on\u00a0the environment, and the food is tastier and fresher.
\nEste verano, un grupo de estudiantes del campamento de verano de New Settlement Creative Leaders se uni\u00f3 a nuestra Asistente de Participaci\u00f3n de la Comunidad, Violeta Valdez, por cuatro lecciones sobre jardiner\u00eda y nutrici\u00f3n en el jard\u00edn en el techo del New Settlement Community Center. Violeta ayud\u00f3 a los estudiantes a hacer conexiones entre la comida en su plato, de d\u00f3nde ven\u00eda, y el viaje que le llev\u00f3 llegar all\u00ed. En una lecci\u00f3n llamada “Eliminar el intermediario”, Violeta mostr\u00f3 a los estudiantes todos los pasos que lleva nuestra comida de la granja al supermercado. Aprendieron cuales alimentos pueden crecer localmente en nuestra regi\u00f3n y cuales no pueden, y las razones por las que los supermercados a menudo no venden comida local. Entonces Violeta les mostr\u00f3 lo diferente que es el proceso cuando compra alimentos de los mercados agr\u00edcolas – hay menos intermediario, menos efectos da\u00f1inos sobre el medio ambiente, y la comida es m\u00e1s sabrosa y fresca.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
Each lesson included some time in the garden. The students learned to identify different plants, vegetables, and herbs and how to utilize them in the kitchen. They also learned how important insects are to the garden, from the bees that pollinate flowers and allow them to produce fruits and vegetables, to the worms that help make the soil nutritious for plants, to other insects that act as food sources for animals, or predators to other insects who harm us or the plants. The students tasted fresh tomatoes straight from the vine, and picked swiss chard to add to a delicious fruit\u00a0smoothie. They really enjoyed watering\u00a0the garden each week, and learning\u00a0techniques to care for the plants.
\nCada lecci\u00f3n inclu\u00eda tiempo en el jard\u00edn. Los estudiantes aprendieron a identificar diferentes plantas, verduras y hierbas y c\u00f3mo utilizarlas en la cocina. Tambi\u00e9n aprendieron lo importante que son los insectos para el jard\u00edn, desde las abejas que polinizan las flores y les permiten producir frutas y verduras, a los gusanos que ayudan a hacer el suelo nutritivo para las plantas, a otros insectos que act\u00faan como fuentes de alimento para los animales o depredadores a otros insectos que nos da\u00f1an o da\u00f1an las plantas. Los estudiantes probaron los tomates frescos directamente de la vid, y recolectaron la acelga para agregar a un batido delicioso. Disfrutaron mucho regar el jard\u00edn cada semana, y aprender t\u00e9cnicas para cuidar las plantas. <\/p>\n

The most exciting class for both Violeta and the students was the final class,\u00a0where the students learned that humans and plants need many of the same things to survive. Then they\u00a0went into the garden and planted their own Calypso Beans. They saw for themselves that it’s not that difficult to\u00a0grow their own beans, right there in their school garden.
\nLa clase favorita de Violeta y los estudiantes fue la clase final, cuando los estudiantes aprendieron que los seres humanos y las plantas necesitan muchas de las mismas cosas para sobrevivir. Luego en el jard\u00edn plantaron sus propios frijoles calipsos. Ellos vieron por s\u00ed mismos que no es tan dif\u00edcil cultivar sus propios frijoles en su jard\u00edn de la escuela.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This summer was a great experience for the\u00a0kids, and we thank Violeta for her thoughtful lesson planning and teaching!
\n\u00a1Este verano fue una gran experiencia para los ni\u00f1os, y agradecemos a Violeta por su planificaci\u00f3n atenta de lecciones y su ense\u00f1anza!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

This summer our eight Youth Leaders not only worked at the 170 Farm Stand each week, but also completed a food justice workshop series. Through their workshops they explored topics such as the meaning of\u00a0food sovereignty<\/a>, what kinds of foods are available in their community and who gets to make decisions about it, how our food system works and how much food is wasted along the way, and calculating how many miles different types of food travel before it gets to our plate. The final workshop was a visit to La Finca del Sur, a women of color led farm in the South Bronx. Regina Ginyard, one of the co-founders of La Finca and National Coordinator of Black Urban Growers (BUGS), spoke to the youth about the importance of this women of color led space in a food justice world that very often does not reflect the diversity of the city. The youth then got an opportunity to connect with the land and care for some of the farm’s communal garden beds.
\nEste verano, nuestros ocho L\u00edderes Juveniles no s\u00f3lo trabajaron en el Mercado Local de la 170 cada semana, sino que tambi\u00e9n completaron una serie de talleres sobre la justicia alimentaria. A trav\u00e9s de sus talleres exploraron temas como el significado de\u00a0la soberan\u00eda alimentaria<\/a>, qu\u00e9 tipos de alimentos est\u00e1n disponibles en su comunidad y qui\u00e9nes toman decisiones al respecto, c\u00f3mo funciona nuestro sistema de alimentos y cu\u00e1ntos alimentos se gasta, y calculando c\u00f3mo muchas millas diferentes tipos de comida viajan antes de que llegue a nuestro plato. El taller final fue una visita a La Finca del Sur, una granja dirigido por mujeres de color en el sur del Bronx. Regina Ginyard, una de las cofundadoras de La Finca y Coordinadora Nacional de Black Urban Growers (BUGS), habl\u00f3 con la juventud sobre la importancia de este espacio de mujeres de color en un mundo de justicia alimentaria que a menudo no refleja la diversidad de la ciudad.

The Youth Leaders have learned how their work at the 170 Farm Stand fits into the larger picture of food justice in New York City, and the food system of our region. They will continue to develop these skills and analysis as they work at the 170 Farm Stand through the end of November.
