When I left my hometown in Michigan five years ago, my intention was to visit New York for a gap year program at Free Columbia and then return to Michigan to join the family business. My visit soon turned into the making of a new home. Following a season of learning, I turned towards agriculture in an attempt to become more engaged with the Earth&#8217;s seasons and became fully captivated by farming. In the time since, I have begun to form a career here, first being introduced to organic and biodynamic vegetable farming, and then finding my way to and settling into livestock farming for my 5th season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve cultivated and been blessed with a lovely situation here. I have a safe and beautiful apartment that I share with a dear friend and two cats. I&#8217;m free to garden on the property as I please. Once a week, I work at a local farm store, stocking out produce, both local and specialty products, for creative people who are just as captivated by the art of food as I am. All of this is happening within a 20-minute radius of a very large concentration of North American Youth Section members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our branch of the Youth Section has been dedicating a lot of time towards planning our 2025 conference, The Light Between. Within that, it\u2019s hard to define a specific \u2018role\u2019 \u2026. I think our team is quite fluid in terms of people moving in and out of different tasks depending upon what they\u2019re able to offer, both in skill and practical availability. I&#8217;m often drawn to more practical tasks, I find myself doing a lot of marketing and outreach, and I enjoy logistical work that involves puzzling, things like creating schedules or plans. I enjoy most of all dreaming of the future, the conversations about what our world contains, and what we want to do to bring it to the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/nayouthsection.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">North American Youth Section<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Photo<\/strong> NA Youth Section<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philmont, New York.
