The CSC Youth Garden is a living learning environment, a community demonstration site and a small business. It features raised beds, cold frames, a greenhouse, composting, and a green wall.

The CSC Youth Garden is a program of the Workforce and Education Department of Community Services Consortium (CSC), a community action agency serving Linn, Benton and Lincoln Counties. The CSC Youth Garden charges 4-10 youth per season with the responsibility of caring for 40 raised beds without the use of herbicides or pesticides. Herbs and veggies are sold at our spring, summer and fall farmers' market stands, and a portion is donated to the Linn Benton Food Share.
Mission: The mission of the CSC Youth Garden is to encourage learning, entrepreneurship and work readiness to Benton County youth and to grow and locally distribute responsibly-raised produce.

Yum! Vincent and his garden crew brought bread that they baked along with several types of humus and a carrot leek slaw in addition to fresh produce to Clayton Meadows Apartments today to compliment the CSFP food boxes we delivered.
The CSFP boxes (Commodities Supplemental Food Program) are delivered monthly to low income seniors age 60 and up in Linn and Benton Counties.
