Take me down to the farming lands
where the flowers are bloomin'
and the animals miniature!
Oh won't you please take me dooooown
Got a chance to see agriculture at work.
Nuestras Raices is a wonderful place that educates the future farmers.
They provide budding farmers with the skills and tools necessary for a successful farmer basically.
They used to have meals on wheels but that is a project seeing revamping.
They also run a youth program that gives Holyoke youth a chance to really engage in agriculture with their own hands.
After our trip to the farm we visited one of the original garden plots that Nuestras Raices planned/ted, mainly to honor the memorial of a man who had more or less started nuestras raices.
Seeing all of their hard work was inspiring to say the least.
I'm hoping to engage my local farms better once I figure out my future situations. Mayhaps there will be opportunities for me to learn as much as I can about agriculture that time allows.
