As a production assistant, I gained hands-on experience in small-scale organic farming, working across the full production cycle from seeding and transplanting to weeding, harvesting, and delivering products to customers. The experience gave me practical exposure to sustainable agriculture, daily operations, and the challenges of running a small farm.

• Supported organic crop production through seeding, transplanting, weeding, harvesting, and post-harvest handling.
• Helped manage daily farm operations, including livestock care, field maintenance, and product preparation.
• Delivered farm products to customers and gained experience communicating directly with local consumers.
• Participated in workshops with other farm apprentices, learning how farmers use technical knowledge from biology, ecology, and other fields to improve small-scale organic farming.
• Developed a stronger appreciation for operational problem-solving, sustainable food systems, and the role of interdisciplinary knowledge in farming.
