“My most memorable moment was talking to local tomato farmers. We visited a farmer’s home where we were able to interview many senior farmers and ask them questions about their crop production. My main takeaway from the interview is how, after years and years of farming, they still wake up every day ready to take care of their crops because they take great pride in what they do. I also noticed how all the farmers talked to each other like they were a family, creating a space of community and joy surrounding the field. One of the farmers was 70 years old and still had a huge smile, at that moment I realized I too couldn’t wait to cultivate my own land and start growing my own farm. This trip has truly made me feel like I chose the right path in agriculture, which helped me spiritually open up to my journey in health and wellness.” (2/2)
