The Last Day





Wednesday was my last day of working at Moose Hill CSA Farm. I have invested the last two summers into this job so it was sad to say my last farewell. I have met so many incredible, thoughtful, and heartfelt people through working here. I could not have asked for a better community to work alongside. I will have so many memories attached to this farm. So many frustrated moments, so many new experiences, so many laughs, and so many heartfelt conversations.

The farm had an incredible energy. I liked when you would be buried in a crop for a few hours, you could feel the fatigue and frustration setting in when you just want to be done and then you would get a feeling that you should look up. You would look up and just breathe in the farm. All around you is green and clean vegetables, the air smells fresh, and there might even be a whisper of a breeze that touches your face. Or those rainy days in August where it is warm and you just get soaked by the rain while you are surrounded by corn and it feels incredible.    

Thank you to all of the farm workers and apprentices this year for making the decision to be part of the farm life. Christelle, thank you for always keeping me up to date on your love life. Haley, thank you for always doing your signature snort (if that is what you call it). Christabel, thank you for spending that stormy afternoon with me banding rubber bands for over an hour. Ethan, thank you for always voicing your opinions and being the only one who decided to swim with me in the lake out back. Yadin, thank you for the real talks, I hope our paths cross in the future. Alex, thank you for showing me the beautiful world of RHCP, I cannot wait to hear about you and Ethan's adventures around the world. Mathew, thank you for being our fearless leader and always supplying the snacks :)

 Despite a fantastic two summers, I think it is time for me to explore new horizons and find new experiences. Who knows,  maybe next summer I will be white water rafting in Charlemont, working as a polo groom, or working in another country!

Thanks for the memories Moose Hill <3
