We received some excellent coverage from the local media of Will Allen's visits to the WEI Organic Farm School, Amador Farm Campus, and Little Earth of United Tribes urban farm project during his August 2009 visit. Listen to the MPR interview with Euan Kerr or read Sheila Regan's story in the Twin Cities Daily Planet. See also more article on WEI/Growing Power from Star and Tribune.
As a result of our work with Will Allen and Growing Power, WEI has been designated as Minnesota's Regional Outreach Training Center for Growing Power Inc.. We are currently working with the Little Earth of United Tribes (LEOUT) Women's Group to help develop LEOUT's Urban Farm and Food Justice Project as our first our first urban farm collaboration project. We are also engaged in training the trainer project development -- a five month program-- with Growing Power, Inc. Milwaukee. What is a Growing Power Regional Outreach Training Center?
