Today at five am we woke up to go to the blueberry farm and Sam's farm. At the blueberry farm, we weeded and picked the blueberries and we really wanted to feel like we were relating to the struggles of the migrant workers. I picked twelve pounds of blueberries today and just to think that you're supposed to get 500 pounds of blueberries per day for 75 cents per pound I was blown away. This showed me how the migrants struggle with daily life and care for their families. At Sam
s U-pick strawberry farm, we didn't harvest, but instead weeded the strawberries. We saw Jesus at Sam's when we saw that the one potato grew a potato plant out of itself to grow other potatoes. It sacrificed its life for others like Jesus.

While the farm we worked at pays 75 cents a pound, most farms pay only 32 cents.
