Birmingham Kids Grow and Sell for Charity | Birmingham News

Kids across Birmingham turned the Bullring Open Market into their own mini-farmers’ market this past Wednesday, selling everything from broad beans to tomato plants they grew themselves — all part of the Young Marketeers program by School Food Matters. Funded by The National Lottery Community Fund and Birmingham City Council, the initiative teaches kids real-world skills like teamwork, marketing, and where food comes from. By day’s end, they raised nearly $100 for FareShare Midlands — proof that hands-on learning, hustle, and community spirit can grow more than just crops.
