The Interviews

Esperanza
"Well, for me, I really love farming. I have always loved it, since I was young. I like that there are a lot of people around, and we can talk with each other.  The community and the farm are a big part of my life." - Esperanza

Alioye
no one can live without farming. It’s a battle for your own life. So if you didn’t farm what do you eat? Nothing. So the young people have to learn how to farm. Because now we are old. After a couple years we may die and then who’s left over? The young people, you know, they stay in the world. They have to start growing food so they have to learn that system. Because they have to start producing food for the world. - Alioye

John Yanga
We eat a lot of fresh and healthy vegetables. Most of the vegetables you buy from the markets usually are stored a long time before it comes to the customers, or the consumers. But here you get the produce right away from the farm. Fresh, nutritious, and delicious! - John Yanga
