On February 12th , my group and I went to our first day of community service. We were greeted by the beautiful couple who are also the farm managers, Suzie and Jay as long as their beautiful dog Bear. We were suppose to start at 12:30pm but due to our first time driving to the location we all kind of got lost. Once we arrived Suzie and Jay discussed what Potrero Nuevo Farm does for the community. Majority of their time is spent to grow vegetable for the Catholic Workers, help high school students as well as even have one profit project where local people are able to come and pick their on fruits and vegetables. After out tour of the very small vicinity of the entire farm we began to get down to work. We picked weeds that were growing ferociously and getting ready for the new season of vegetables and fruits that were inputed. While doing the yard work we also began to have conversations leading from politics, to Netflix series all the way up to what are future goals are. After our first day at the farm I am excited to continue my community service at Potrero Nuevo.
