A group of high schoolers from Barrington are working to grow an online platform they’ve launched, Fresh Cornucopia, which brings farmers market vendors from different communities together for customers from all over to find.
The idea was first sparked in Barrington High School’s “Business INCubator” course, which teaches students entrepreneurship through the development of a legitimate product or service. Dylan DeLeon, 17, is one of the four students who came up with Fresh Cornucopia.
Students in the class take on the responsibilities of running a business, like managing financials, marketing and customer acquisition, and maintaining the front and back ends of the website.
