P Gutai - Farm Assistant
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO ON THE FARM?
My favorite thing to do on the farm is to start something from seed, watch it germinate and grow, and then later plant it into the ground! I love seeing the entire process play out and know that my hands have helped the plant along.
WHAT'S YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING?
Weeding in the summer.
WHAT VEG DO YOU LIKE TO EAT RAW?
My favorite vegetable to eat raw is carrots!
IF YOU COULD FILL AN ENTIRE FIELD OF WHAT PRODUCE, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Broccolini. Nom
WHEN DID YOU START GROWING VEGGIES?
I started farming in the summer of 2019 as a VISTA here
WHAT'S SOMETHING YOU WANT TO LEARN ON THE FARM?
How to effectively plan and rotate crop fields, when to start different plants from seed, and when to put things in the ground.
WHAT'S ONE THING YOU WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT WHAT YOU DO (IF THEY'VE NEVER DONE IT BEFORE)?
I want people to know that urban farming can be done by anyone! Container gardening, window boxes, and even just a small stretch of your yard can be transformed into foodscapes! Intuition and googling go a long way in helping out your gardening journey.
WHAT'S YOUR SUPERPOWER?
My superpower is being empathetic and intuitive. I try to put myself in the shoes of others to know how they're feeling and understand how to best communicate and interact with them.
WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE AUTHOR / MUSICIAN / ARTIST?
My favorite artist is Jhené Aiko. She is a singer-songwriter, performer, poetry author, and sound healer. Her words and music have given me much comfort over the years. "Trigger Protection Mantra" is my daily meditation song
