"The best thing for me is that I can be around greenery. I grew up in this kind of environment where I was farming. I saw green everywhere, so that makes me happy."
“I am so happy to have food like in my country of Congo. I don’t have words to express my gratitude.”
“The farm is a community of immigrants, mostly from Africa and Asia. We’re culturally similar because we traditionally grow the same crops, share resources and live in big, family-oriented groups, so we see one another as extended family.”
“Coming here and having an opportunity to work with coworkers, just loving, laughing and sharing the peace—it really gives us strength.”
“If you work in the fields, it keeps you active and healthy. I’m able to do so much more.”
“Community Farmers help my family a lot because they give us fresh food and a more healthy lifestyle.”
