Potrero Nuevo Farm makes some of it profit from partnering with different companies like Abundant Grace Coastside Worker. The farm would donate some of it’s land to seed, harvest and use the farm’s equipment so that they are able to further their mission of helping homeless low-income communities. I feel like this would relate most to our hallmark six because it talks about creating a community among those that work together and the ones that are going to be served. It is honoring friendship as a fundamental value for learning community relationships as there are community building activities among the members part of the community. Potrero Nuevo Farm fits well with this Hallmark because they are partnering with another association that is trying to help better the community. While they are doing that, they are creating bonds of friendships when they allow the Coastside Worker individuals to use the farm to harvest and seed together. Bonds are also being created when food is being distributed to the homeless and the low income communities. There is a sense of interactive and collaborative educational experiences when this Farm also partners with schools to teach kids how to farm and why the farm is important and what they do for the community and without farms individuals would not be getting produce. It is creating a community as a whole with several other different communities coming together by doing farming activities together.
