Sam grew up in NYC and he's going to be a sophomore at Oberlin College. We're so happy that he's joined us for a summer at Root 5 Farm. Sam is the best. He's a hard worker, he loves cooking and baking, and he's a really talented artist. One of Sam's favorite jobs on the farm is cleaning totes. He washes hundreds of totes each week, spraying out harvest totes, market totes, and CSA totes after each use. He says it feels really satisfying to get everything all cleaned up and put away in it's place every day.
