The change of seasons doesn’t mean a vacation for the farmers at Los Poblanos, a local organic farm. They continue to deliver their signature Harvest Boxes which are
filled with produce harvested from the several active winter greenhouses and supplemented with fruits and vegetables from a network of regional, organic farmers.
The farmers and apprentice farmers must do the less glamorous but equally as important off-season work. Clearing of last season’s crops, field clean up and construction
of new greenhouses are all fundamental aspects of the famers winter work. To aid in the difficult job of maintaining 36 acres of farmland and also to cultivate a
new generation of farmers, Los Poblanos offers apprenticeships for prospective farmers. With an emphasis on creating a cohesive union of professional farmers, apprentices
and community members, Los Poblanos poses the question “Who’s you Farmer?”
