🌻🌾 Meet Andrea our Seasonal Farm Assistant! 💛Andrea is passionate about equitable resource access and has found herself doing that work in a variety of spaces, primarily within the worlds of environmental justice and food systems. Andrea is originally from Santiago, Chile, where she first spent time on farms. 🇨🇱 She was raised on the east coast where that relationship to nature and farms continued. She believes that nature has been her constant, as someone who immigrated to the US and navigated different worlds at a young age. 🌎 She continues to find familiarity and grounding when stewarding land. Prior to farming full time, Andrea spent many years working as an organizer and facilitator, primarily around issues of housing access and climate justice. ☀️ In her free time, Andrea likes to play music, experiment with crafts, and go dancing. ✨ Check out her farm and support as well !!
