Week 12

Posted on July 21st, 2021 by Ford Waterstrat

Hello there- We hope that you are enjoying everything in your share each week! Doesn't it feel great to know that the produce that you're eating each week nourishes your bodies while at the same time bringing goodness into the world? I'm not the best with words, but I did want to mention this.....

Most of the SHF Organics team comes (legally thru H-2A work visa) from the same rural community in Mexico. They leave their families for 7-8 months at a time to provide their families with more opportunities. I could not imagine leaving my 3 boys and wife for more than a week. We are very thankful for them and wanted to give you a quick behind the scenes video of them packing up your shares. Meet the guys in the Behind the scenes Video. Hopefully we will make a more formal get to know you video to share with you all. The main point thought I'd like to share though is... they leave their families in Mexico to come work with me here because they are able to earn in one day what they'd in in 1 week back home. And- many of them would have to leave their families for 1 week at a time to work in Mexico City. 

These guys work so hard each week and are thankful that you are part of our farm family. My team really enjoys it when I share the kind emails that we receive each week from you all.

Enjoy your week!
