Did you think of a farmer as a strong woman in Happy Valley CA with 8 children, fruit trees, vegetables and big gardens? She invites visitors to see how a farm works, along with 45 local farmers in a Farm Trail, and asks legislators to make it easier to bring fresh produce to the community, including local schools.
