“During my summer on the farm I experienced a therapeutic healing and awakening of sorts. After a two year grieving and dramatic life transition, for the first time, I experienced an understanding of our physical and spiritual connection to earth, to dirt. I expanded my understanding of what I was physically capable of. Finally, I came away with a permanent awakening and interest in what is behind the food we eat and how it affects us and the environment. And a new appreciation of worms...from a distance.”
