About ten years ago, I was a volunteer worker on an organic vegetable farm
in Ohio for two years.
That is somewhat I am doing now but not volunteering. My trailer is parked
on a commercial organic vegetable farm in Hollister, CA, south of the Bay
area. I am helping out by repairing tractors, wiring lights, repairing
trucks, driving tractor (when it quits raining), fixing computers, and
whatever. My journal shows some of the fun activities. He has about 200
acres under cultivation in three locations and is looking at several
hundred acres more. I spend spring time here helping him for a free place
to park my trailer, all the organic vegetables I could want, and a little
money.
