Farmer Vedha Reddy is in her third year of farming in Big River Farms’ education program. Vedha’s organic produce is sold to The Food Group’s agency partners and to the Minneapolis Public Schools so children and food shelf customers have access to fresh, nutritious veggies. She also operates The Hidden Paradise Farm CSA.
