“I’ve spent these last few months harvesting fruits and veggies, prepping the garden for winter rest, learning different methods of food preservation,
and reconnecting with community. I feel deeply grateful for the lessons learned, the food shared, and relationships formed both with the garden team and the garden itself. The work I was able to
participate in… has really helped to ground and re-center me in my values and identity.”

“In the past three months I have gained a sense of
identity, a passion for agriculture, a future in
education, and the confidence to create. I knew this
experience would be life changing but I was
completely unaware of how vital it would be to not
only my professional future but my personal future. I
am grateful to be a part of something that has
changed so many people's lives and contributed to so
many communities through conservation and
sustainable agriculture. I look forward to my future at
the pathways this internship has helped pave.”
