For the love of farming.

Faatma Mehrmanesh, Operations Coordinator at DUG’s DeLaney Community Farm, was interviewed for Crop to Cuisine. She talks about what it’s like to be a farmer in an urban environment, and the disconnect that most people experience between the farm and the plate. Favorite quote:

You don’t do it for the money, you do it because you’re in love with the whole process. You can’t do anything else.
