Cupcake Throwdown 2023

Roots Rising's mission is to empower youth and build community through food and farming. Our vision is to lift up teens as community changemakers and to strengthen the local food system through the transformational power of meaningful work. We have two main initiatives- our Pittsfield Farmers Market and our Youth Crew program.We founded the Pittsfield Farmers Marketin 2013 with the belief that everyone in our community should have access to fresh, healthy food. We are a year-round, producer-only, teen-run market. Live music, chef demos, workshops and children's activities have helped make the market a true community hub.Our Youth Crews hire Pittsfield teens to work on farms, in food pantries and at our farmers market. Werun three seasonal Farm Crews a year and a year-round Market Crew. These Crews are both employment and youth development programs. In addition to their hours working in the farm fields, in the food pantry, and at the farmers market, youth also participate in educational workshops, culinary and financial literacy lessons, and feedback circles.Working for a Roots RisingCrew is not just a job. It’s an opportunity for teens to engage in meaningful work—work that needs to be done and that contributes to a larger social good. Roots Rising believes that meaningful work is transformational. It leaves youth feeling purposeful, capable, and connected.
