WE ARE NOT FARM OWNERS, BUT WE ARE THE HEARTS OF THE OPERATION.

Not Our Farm (NOF) is building power among farmworkers by cultivating a virtual place of community in which farmworkers share their stories and skills, create resources, and form relationships with each other.

So much is happening simultaneously. And I think growing up, people in general in America, we are so accustomed to ignoring our surroundings and just focus on what we're producing. And in a sense, farming is a type of production. But there's so many relationships going on, whether it's with the land, with yourself, with other people.
