The
Food Project (TFP) is a visionary experiment in urban
farming. Muller
Mirville is a 16-year-old youth who wants to be a math teacher "when he
grows up."
Two years ago, quite by chance, they met.
Muller
liked The Food Project work immediately and they've been teammates ever
since.
This
is the story of The Food Project as seen through the eyes of Muller
Mirville.

Muller
lives in Upham’s Corner and attends the Urban Sciences Academy, a part
of West Roxbury High.
A couple years ago a counselor pointed
him
to The Food Project for a summer job. Now he works there full-time
summers. When school's in session, he gets to do related
activities like cooking for shelters.
He's enthusiastic. He loves talking about
the kids and the outreach, how he gets to lead, motivate and teach
others and the sense he has of making a difference in the world, one
child at a time.
Muller took us on a tour of The Food Project sites in
Roxbury.
- The Urban Learning Farm
- The Shirley Eustis mansion orchard
- The main production farm
- An abandoned greenhouse they just acquired
