Supported 4 interns at the Questa Farmers Market
Worked with 3 apprentices and 7 mentors
Grew produce distributed to CSA members, the Questa Farmers Market, the North Country Food Pantry, and local businesses across Taos County
Huge props to Program Director Gaea McGahee and Farmer/Educator Daniel Carmona for nurturing such an incredible project!
