The CLC Connects Podcast is on a short break while we work behind the scenes to bring you a new and improved listening experience, but we also know its important to fill that space you reserve time to listen to every other Tuesday. In this spirit we’re bringing back some of our most popular episodes from our first two seasons with some added content. You can think of this as season 2.5. Today we’re starting the episode off with a condensed version of the interview I did with Melanie Bromberek, CLC’s horticulture coordinator. Melanie gave us her expert fall gardening advice. A year later, I can vouch for her- my garden has looked better than ever this season. Maybe you’re not interested in gardening, but your kids are.

What you’ll hear next is all about CLC’s connection with Green Youth Farm followed by two high school students who are working their first jobs as farmers.…
