The earthly abundance and diversity I experienced in my Santa Cruz farm life was in apples, blueberries, dahlia flowers and heirloom rose varieties. But there was another element woven into the complex cloth of this farm ecosystem—the other farm apprentices. Farms need people woven into their fabric, to gather around them and encircle them with support, attention and energy. Farms need people nestled within them and throughout all aspects to appreciate their aliveness. People need farms to remind them they, too, are of the earth.
