The farm and market are run by select high school students through the summer season.

THUNDER BAY — More locally grown food will be available via a student-run farm and market that runs twice a week.

" a typical day, they're doing lots of weeding, which they don't love, but they're getting used to it," DeCaire said. Students also work the market table, where they are responsible for its aesthetic, engaging with customers, and handling transactions. " get a lot of potato beetles, but we hand pick those out of the crops twice a week. The kids aren't a huge fan of that, but it's work that has to be done. So, instead of using chemicals and pesticides, we will use organic methods, which is hand-picking."
