testimonials from former farm crew members:
"Farmwork has been some of the most rewarding work I've ever done. This internship gave me the opportunity to create a bond with the Earth that I never want to break." -Allison, JSG intern
”Some highlights for me this summer at Sprout City Farms was getting my hands in the soil, listening to the meditative sound of the honeybees buzzing around me, the abundance felt when harvesting veggies and being able to spread it to others, the endless laughs and connections made with the other farm fam, and spending hours being in the present moment coexisting with nature. I am so grateful for this experience and I expect to be involved again next year.” - Jess, DGS intern, 2021-2022
"What this [Sprout City Farms] community and piece of earth has done for my spirit is truly beyond words." -Kachine, DGS work share member 2019-2021
