Blog#8 A Budget is Statement of Values



A Budget is Statement of Values

My community partner has a budget in its own. Founded by Ms. Christine Pielenz and Mr. Bill who own the land. The Farm provides charity to the citizens of Half Moon Bay which depends heavily on volunteers. The farm Potrero Nuevo Farm is a non-profit organization which helps deliver fresh organic produce to homeless shelters and other charitable organizations. Also, Potrero Nuevo Farm donates the use of its land, harvest support, use of farm equipment and other materials to the Catholic Workers and that in turn feeds the low-income and homeless. In that way, they fulfill the hallmark number six ‘‘We create community among those with whom we work and with those we serve’’ and also hallmark number two ‘‘We commit ourselves to community service.’’ They also gain money from a program called U-Pick where people can harvest their own vegetables, berries, herbs, and flowers. Also, they have a coffeeshop-like shop called The Bike Hut, run by farm managers Jay and Suzie Trexler, The Bike Hut is a place where cyclists can enjoy fresh water, teas, and some snacks and they have the choice to pay what they want in return for this kind of service. It is self-serve and open 24/7/365 for the enjoyment of Half Moon Bay bikers.
