Migrants to learn organic growing – Florida From: bradenton.com
Tagged: FloridaPosted on: May 12th, 2008
When migrant workers arrive here, they know to expect long hours in packing houses or excruciating days under the hot sun in fields.
A new program is expected to bring them more skills and help them meet a growing demand for locally grown, organic food.
This fall, the Ellenton-based Florida West Coast Resource Conservation and Development will train its first group of farmworker apprentices. Two to three years from now, they may be able to operate organic farms of their own.”*
