Planting at Alston Farm

Worked on the farm planting seeds, moving pots, haystacks, preparing the ground, etc.

I had a great time helping plant and doing agricultural work at the farm

Enjoyed doing Agricultural work

Really nice learned a lot about agriculture, and had nice conversations with others.

This weekend, I spent 2 days working on a local Black-owned farm, where I helped clear land, plant produce, improve the landscaping, and build fences. The work was physically demanding, but it showed me the value of patience, consistency, and teamwork. Clearing land and preparing the farm for planting required a lot of effort, but it was rewarding to know that every task was helping create a more productive and organized environment.

One of the biggest things I learned from this experience was how much hard work goes into maintaining a farm and keeping operations running smoothly. Making sure the landscaping was properly managed so machines could move efficiently taught me that even small details can make a big difference in the success of a larger operation. Building fences and planting produce also reminded me of the importance of creating something that will last and benefit others. Overall, this weekend helped me develop a greater appreciation for agriculture, service, and supporting local Black-owned businesses in my community.
