“If you’re inspired to start farming and are looking for tips on where to go from there, here are some things that hit home for me. GROW SOMETHING. Whether you have a backyard raised beds, pots on your lanai or an allotment, grow something. Get crusty, get muddy, get hooked. MAKE MISTAKES. They are inevitable, just learn from them. FACE CHALLENGES. Your first move isn’t your final step – don’t get discouraged when you realize this is a lot harder than you maybe thought it was going to be. LEARN. There are plenty of books + online courses from farmers like @jeanmartinfortier and @neversinkfarm GET DIRTY. Help with a school garden, volunteer on a farm (and if they say no it’s probably not because of you, there are strict farm volunteer laws in CA), there are even internship opportunities at amazing farms like @full_belly_farm , or programs like @ucscfarm or the stone barn. BUILD COMMUNITY. Meet other farmers or people interested in supporting local farms. Community is huge. Instagram has been amazing for broadening our farm community – and answering our farm questions. DO SOMETHING. Start somewhere. Fan that flame + don’t let it go out.” –Helena of @happyacrefarm
