ABOUT THE HERSHEY MARKET & MICROECONOMY

The market is the capstone to Hershey Montessori School’s adolescent program. Proceeds from The Hershey Market go back into the Huntsburg campus’ microeconomy, which supports economics-class projects of the middle school as well as the market itself.  Adolescent students in the 10th and 11th grades participate in weekly workshops in financial literacy, business management, and entrepreneurship. They also learn fundamental concepts of business operations as they work to develop the various business ventures on the farm and manage the operations of The Hershey Market.
