Bay Mills Community College

COVID-19 Response Survey

Bay Mills Community College will create a Youth Farm Stand program which will engage youth in culturally relevant, sustainable agricultural practices while teaching entrepreneurial skills. Michigan State University Extension will partner in our efforts through the provision of training and technical assistance as developers of the Youth Farm Stand program model. The Youth Farm Stand will provide reasonably priced fresh produce to tribal members living in a designated food desert. A portion of the proceeds from the Farm Stand will be remitted to youth as a method of retaining participants and teaching money management skills.
