"Juan" sent this from where he works in the carrot harvest in CA. Their group earns $3.05 for every box of carrots she packs. One box has 24 bunches of 7 carrots each. For each $100 earned, his group has to pack 33 boxes or 786 bunches or 5508 carrots. #WeFeedYou

<p class="text-xs text-slate-350 leading-relaxed break-words">that’s some nice work there ofc as usual Every instance I’ve seen? It’s nice to see examples of work well done, it’s nicer to offer respectful commission. Obviously this is the REAL ORIGIN of most food production nationally. It’s nicest to meet those people!
2 collectives, yours is better🖤obvios</p>

I am GRATEFUL 🥲 for ALL of the hard labor that these fine workers do for us all in our nation 🇺🇸.
Most of our produce comes from California.

Follow me at sunrise on a walk to the top of High Rock for one of the best views to be had of Bridgnorth. On the way up, there were dragonflies skimming above the long grasses and dancing in the early sunshine. A lovely sight in the cool of the morning before the heat started to ramp up. #Shropshire
