Granite Falls, Minn. Pioneer Public Television is teaming up with the MNyou Youth Garden to offer a special sneak preview of a Postcards story about the youth garden project on Tuesday, April 23 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Goodness Coffee House at 333 Litchfield Ave. SW in Willmar. The event is free and open to the public.

Founded by Nate Erickson, Abdiweli Yusuf and Ben Larson in 2017, the mission of the MNyou Youth Garden is to empower minority youth through education, work experience and exposure to local entrepreneurs while providing fresh produce to people in their community that might otherwise be unable to afford it. The organization has been raising vegetables and salad greens in a greenhouse and gardens located on the MinnWest Technology campus in Willmar.
