Farming Entrepreneurs: BoysGrow Kansas City - Amborella Organics

John Gordon Jr. is the Executive Director and founder of BoysGrow, a nonprofit in Kansas City that works with boys from the age of 12-15 teaching them to farm and simultaneously become entrepreneurs. The farm is 10-acres and with the produce grown, the boys create products (such as the honey mustard above) that go on to be sold at local grocery stores and restaurants.

We had one youth who was placed with a foster family on a small functional farm.  Within weeks he was a different kid. He had responsibility, structure and felt like we was a part
