Leo “Lettuce” spent his summer with the Food Literacy Project before beginning his senior year at Ballard High School. He worked with the YCAP crew to strengthen and develop his knowledge of farming, began growing his own food, and embraced his self-efficiency. When asked, “Why should you grow and cook your own food?”, Leo responded, “You can see the route your food takes from start to finish. You can commend yourself for doing the work and can enjoy the fruits of your labor.”
