High school students find recipe for success

High school students in Immokalee are getting more than a taste of what it’s like to run a business. They’re feasting on success, enjoying triple-digit growth rates in an effort to give back to their community while learning how to run a business.

They are doing all this through Taste of Immokalee, a benefit corporation, or B Corp. Taste of Immokalee, founded in 2014 by Immokalee-based One by One Leadership Foundation, began as an idea from a group of local high school students that has grown into an enterprise that makes and sells specialty food products in retail stores.
