Potrero Nuevo Farm
Day 1
Eight miles south of Half Moon Bay is the Potrero Nuevo Farm. It’s a 300-acre private farm that is perfect to grow healthy organic produce. Without spraying chemicals, The farm benefits from breeding different kinds of cattle such as cows, to fertilize the land.
My team and I arrive at 12:30 pm every Friday at the farm. The farm managers Susie and Jay start to welcome us into the farm. We have different assignments each Friday. The first day, Susie and Jay divided us into two groups. The first group helped remove weeds and unwanted plants from the field while the other group helped spray strawberry’s plants with tea in order to protect it from harmful insects. Lastly, Susie taught us how to plant small plants the right way. It is no just digging and putting plants in the hole, it is more like knowing the soil and choosing the perfect place to plant them. For three hours, we spent the time talking and discussing farm’s work.
The pictures below summarize what we did the first day:
