  • Jermiah Haskins
  • Donté Clark

Reflections from the graduating class included statements such as:
“The farm is one of the only places where I’ve felt like I could truly be myself.”
“These last eight months have been the greatest eight months of my life.”
“I now have a deeper relationship with God, nature, and the land.”

Throughout the fellowship, participants completed more than 600 hours of training, earned three certifications, joined thirteen field trips, and took part in multiple cross-collaboration days. They built strong professional networks and are well-positioned for the next steps in their journeys.
