Leah’s TEDx talk about GreenLeaf

GreenLeaf’s youth-led presentation on 11/29 was a great success: we had 27 people attend, including many urban farmers and foodies. The youth collaborated to create all aspects of the evening: from the content of the two presentations to their delivery. Every single youth crew member got a chance to introduce themselves and to speak up about our work.

GreenLeaf'ers present on our Marketing and Distribution techniques, at Green Spaces 11/29/11

The GreenLeaf 2 Go team has also compiled a one-page document summarizing what we learned from trying many different marketing and distribution strategies this past growing season. It is available here:  GreenLeaf Mktg and Dist 2011 (.pdf will download).

Special thanks to GreenLeaf “mentern” Jocelyn Durkay for emceeing the event!

On Tuesday, November 29 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m.

at Green Spaces: 1368 26th Street (at Walnut) in Denver

GreenLeaf will present our learning from the marketing and distribution techniques we have tried over the past year, from flyers to canvassing, to community outreach, donations to local hunger relief organizations, our farm stand, and more!

You’ll get to meet and learn directly from GreenLeaf youth agri/cultural interns about how and why they got involved in GreenLeaf and hear their insights into marketing fresh produce to their diverse urban communities. We hope to provide a full question and answer session so that all participants can learn from each other. We hope that the information we provide will be helpful to other farmers in the future.

Refreshments will be provided!!

Please RSVP here or to Leah@GreenLeafDenver.org

We’ll be selling fresh veggies beginning August 6th:

25th and Arapahoe, 10 a.m. to Noon
