2011 Herb & Farm Summer Internship Program (Jun-Aug)
We managed to pack a ton of things for the students to do this
summer. From assisting with managing the West End Beltine
Open Air Farmer's Market to testing oxygen levels in Lake Lanier,
it's safe to say these kids did a little bit of everything.
