Hello, my name is Yona Hudson and I am
the yearlong apprentice at Henry Got Crops! I have been working at the farm,
since the summer season started. Perhaps you have seen me, I'm normally helping
out one of the other farmers doing something, or talking in the
"Creamery" to a volunteer. I LOVE the farm, and have a HUGE passion
for urban farming and sustainability. I was born and raised in Philadelphia,
I'm normally wearing Crocs (depending on the weather) or my awesome sunglasses
or even playing music in the field! I have been blessed with having a bunch of
different food justice opportunities. For example, I participated in creating
the first ever Youth Food Bill of Rights, I have been apart of the Weavers Way
Bike tour, I worked at Marathon Farm last summer in Brewerytown, I was a part
of the Farm Bill panel last year, etc. I plan on applying to an agriculture
based college/university this fall, such as Penn State Berks or Warren Wilson
College and major in Sustainable Agriculture or Food Systems. Also, my dream
job would be to join Food Corp then after, travel to learn about different food
systems and sustainable agriculture in different parts of the country and the
world. I am and will always be at the farm, so if any of you have a question,
I'd be happy to answer it. Also, if you have never met me and would like to, I
will be supervising the Tuesday CSA pick-up from 2pm-4pm. Hope to see you there!!!
