Woohoo! Lets reminisce on the first time we met Martha, our beloved small organic farm owner. For me this was the first time I ever stepped foot on any organic farm, let alone one walking distance from a University. To be completely honest I was expecting a traditional farm with perhaps extra vegetation. When we finally arrived at her farm I was surprised upon the realization that there were no chickens running around or farm dogs and cats. Her farm was small, dirty, scattered, and different. Of course, after being shown around more and actually getting the opportunity to volunteer there, I soon realized how important this small, dirty, scattered farm really is.<\/p>\n

Of course, a spontaneous task was assigned! Of course we all agreed we would be happy to help her. This first visit included gathering squash for the farmers market. Half of us were scouters looking for squash and cutting them off by the stem. The other half os us resembled an assembly line and passed down the squash to the be sorted in an orderly fashion.<\/p>\n

Here you can see the squash being passed down in a line, how cute!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
