Lakota Ranch Beginning Farmer/Rancher program

The ultimate purpose of this project is to increase access to affordable, locally grown vegetables on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation by creating an active gardening club. The current garden at the Boys and Girls Club will undergo an expansion and supply a weekly farmers market in Pine Ridge and create a traveling farmers market. Workshops on gardening will be held to develop personal gardens that can provide fresh produce to the farmers markets, and promote healthy living and healthy food choices.
