This North Carolina Children, Youth, and Families at Risk (CYFAR) project uses community gardening to: empower communities to produce food for families, deliver hands-on nutrition education, create opportunities for youth to develop agri-related business skills, build leadership among community members, and provide engaging activities for family members of all ages to work together for a common purpose.

Wagram Community Garden Harvest Celebration Dinner 2011

Last night twenty-five people including the Wagram community gardeners, town officials, and the Growing Change youth group joined in a Harvest Dinner at the Wagram Community Center to celebrate the successes of the growing season and of the Wagram Community Garden in general.

Participants enjoyed a potluck dinner that included an abundance of greens freshly harvested from the garden as well as homemade beans, chow-chow and preserved peppers.
