Good Hope Farm

Good Hope Farm is a local, public farm that asks for volunteers to complete a variety of tasks such as assisting with building tools such as Building Garden carts, helping local farmers harvest turmeric and mulch the public garden. As a recent startup, they encourage agriculture in the community and offer educational opportunities to teach the community about farming. On November 4th, from 8 to 11 am, I worked on the farms with two of the farmers, Michael Carpenter and David Barbee to harvest turmeric and also build some of the gardening carts. I got the chance to discuss the need for agriculture growth within North Carolina and the current research being done to control pesticide use in the plants grown at Good Hope Farm. I hope to continue to volunteer at Good Hope to gain more insight into the local farming being conducted.

After getting my hand's dirty and going to work on the garden carts! (such a nice lighting because of the sun!)
