My favorite experience has been helping to connect people in the Lansing community to locally grown produce and sustainable farming. I am not only connecting people with food but also the experiences of growing it and the communal camaraderie that blossoms when people work together.
During my internship, I have learned to have more patience while leading and have been able to experience the joy that comes from growing food. It is a joy that everyone should have the opportunity to experience. Having access to healthy food should not be a privilege but a right.
