"Being a student at Students for LEAF was a great experience where I was able to learn very hands-on about regenerative agricultural practices. The group of students was small which allowed us to make connections and all learn together in a supportive and teamwork environment. Everyday there was always something new to learn and left you feeling fulfilled that you were a part of making an impact on the community by donating food to local food banks and acquiring important knowledge that can be used to better improve the Earth."
