Tuesday the 3rd – went to Encinitas and worked on the farm; came to TEC and took notes for the board meeting

Summary: The week was filled with preparation for the dinner series, helping with the final week of Feast Verde where the children helped prepare a meal for their parents. The children helped prepare the place settings, flowers, and some of the food before their parents arrived. Lastly, I did some research about other farms and farmers that could be interested in the two-day seed school and research for the development team.

Reflection: This week was very similar to my prior weeks, and I really enjoyed the repetition. I think it helped me build on my skills of research, multi-tasking, and increasing my efficiency.
