Salads for a good cause at Target Field
Amid the hot dogs and heaping platters of nachos at Target Field, hungry baseball fans also can have a healthy salad. Really. Roots for the Home Team returns again for a fourth season with its popular selection of homegrown salads, the fruits (so to speak) of a team effort between St. Paul's Urban Roots (www.urbanroots.org) and Youth Farm (www.youthfarmmn.org). They employ dozens of teens who work in inner-city gardens growing produce to sell to local stores and restaurants, as well as free food for nursing homes and youth-program lunches. The teens have created eight "garden goodies" salads and sell from a cart at Gate 34 inside the ballpark. They'll be there for all weekend home games through Oct. 4.
