"Cherry Halo"
"Mayordomo"
Martin, supervisor.
Farm workers are some of the most amazing and hardest working people. They have welcomed me and my girls with a big smile wherever I go and ask about their work and take their pictures. Not one time have I had a "no" for an answer and every time they actually help me, making me feel confortable and check on my girls. Im so fortunate to have spent all this time with such good people, it has re-energized me, brought me joy and reconnected me with my childhood. A lesson for my girls that will last forever, they will know what hard work is and how our fruit and vegetables really make it to our table.
Not every immigrant is a bad person.
