My first day as an apprentice at EarthDay Farms impacted me in unexpected ways. I had forgotten how much I loved being on a farm. Walking through the fields, hula-hoeing weeds from radish seedlings (yes, as hard as it sounds), transplanting leeks and planting arugula...all of these were delightful. Intersperse these tasks with learning from our fartners (farm partners - gotta love that name) about water management, contours of the land (key line?) and tool usage helped me realize how much I love learning. The fartner (how often can I use this moniker?) candor put all of fresh farmies at ease and allowed for easy conversation. It was a delightful day, I'm yearning to be back there right now!
