BLAST stands for Building Local Agricultural Systems Today, and one many BLAST programs is an internship for some TFP youth. The goals of our internship are to promote healthy local food for all. We are committed to helping everyone gain access to good food. To accomplish this we build gardens, run workshops, and host events.

To learn more about the way food is made we’re going on a “Dig-In” trip through Massachusetts and Vermont to see different models of the parts of a food system. We’ll visit producers, processors, distributors, and retailers The following entries are anecdotes written by individual BLAST interns about our stops, and will recount our many different experiences. We hope to bring you more stories like these in the future!
