Education, Advocacy, and Support
Come and meet the farmworkers that are responsible for the fruits, vegetables and nuts that most of us consume daily. Hear their stories and learn about their lives along the Central Coast of California. We will visit their “homes” and learn about the many obstacles they face in their heroic day-to-day struggle to survive and raise their families.
One of our goals is to bridge the experiential and communication gap between the farmworker community and those of us who enjoy the fruits of their hard labor.
Farmworker housing is typically located in remote areas far from cities and towns, thereby rendering farmworkers invisible to the general public. Farmworker Reality Tours correct this disconnect by allowing participants to meet, dialogue with, and hear the testimonials of farmworkers.
The tours challenge participants to better understand the conditions of farmworkers by sharing in their lives, food, and living quarters.
If you are an organization interested in participating in a reality tour, please contact us.
