My experience at Potrero Nuevo Farm was both amazing and fun. I learned the type of programs they provide such as an alternate academic organization for kids who come a few times a week and learn to do activities that help the farm and serves as therapy for them as well. Their is also a program provided for underprivileged families called "You Pick" which allows them to come once a week and pick a certain amount of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. However, with the current drought the farm has been having an off year. The managers have had to cut off some of their programs earlier because their is not enough water to help the crops grow. One of the managers, Jay, explained to us that it would take thousands of dollars to import water but they have constructed two wells to help the farm out. The optimism that the farm managers have intrigues me and shows that they are dedicated and determined to keep their farm going even with the drought. I hadn't realized how much hard work  the farmers put into their land each day.While my class was at the farm, we had the opportunity to harvest potatoes, pick and bundle lavender, and take a tour around the land. The philanthropic goal of this particular farm is inspiring and makes me feel fortunate about what I have and how I can help others. This trip was memorable and I can't wait to go back and help again.
