Potrero Nuevo Farm Experience

A farm really? Why are we going to a farm for service learning? These questions popped into my head to be honest. Truthfully speaking, I actually believed that the farm was going to be boring and not that exciting. But once I stepped foot onto the warm dirt I felt something changed in me. Looking at all the natural materials surrounding me, I had the feeling that everything here on the farm was well taken care of and really I just felt a lot of love in the air. I was really hyped about helping the farm and doing service because I know it would benefit the community and certain individuals. The one thing that I really enjoyed doing the most was harvesting the potatoes. Even though it was a little messy, I really enjoyed myself and had a lot of fun with my friends from school. What made my day the most was seeing bear. Oh my gosh, bear is so big and fluffy! He was such a sweet and loving dog. The funny part I liked about bear was that he was digging holes with us too! That was really cute and he would lay in the dirt which was funny. Seeing all the chickens was amazing because they were so many of them of all kinds of sorts and they all looked really beautiful. But overall, the whole farm was breath taking and amazing. I really enjoyed myself and hope to be back soon to help out more.
