Our first trip to Potrero Nuevo Farm was one for the books. Jay and Suzie gave us a little tour of the the farm. We also got to meet one of the owners, Bill. The farm is huge and covers a vast amount of acres. Jay and Suzie informed us on the work that they do with the community and the volunteers. They work with Catholic workers, high school students, and families who participate in the U-Pick program. We pulled weeds in the strawberry fields so that they wouldn't hinder the strawberries from growing. As we did this we talked about many things ranging from introducing ourselves and what we want to do after college. We also learned about Suzie and Jay's lives on the farm and where they came from. Suzie makes her own jelly out of some of the plants. Overall our first trip was great and I had a lot of fun.
