Learn-Earn-Grow MKE teaches MPS students how to farm, but its other lessons are just as valuable<\/a>. The program, which also includes UWM and MATC, teaches about work and finances, college life and leadership, providing tools for the students’ success.<\/p>\n

The students work in teams, led by students from UWM and MATC, on microfarms at Vincent High School, UWM and the Mary Ryan Boys & Girls Club in Sherman Park.<\/p>\n

They learn how to farm, but they also learn how to be entrepreneurs. They learn what it takes to succeed as students and people.<\/p>\n

The Vincent High School microfarm includes\u00a0two long, sloped rows of lush plants. There, the students grew peppers, two types of potatoes, three types of tomatoes and squash. There is also a large shed built for animals a little distance from the plants, which included goats, cows and sheep. Outside of the shed, there is another smaller enclosure for 30 egg-laying hens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
