Celebrating the End of Our Traineeship Experience

As our two-week traineeship with Marc and Blaine comes to a close, we wanted to share some final highlights and express our gratitude for their hard work and enthusiasm! During their second and last week on the farm, they had the chance to participate in a full farm tour, observing how Andris shares our mission and practices with visitors.

They also put their newfound skills to the test, helping with various tasks around the farm.

A particularly inspiring moment was when they visited our neighbor Jolanta, who raises goats and makes the most delicious cheese. Jolanta’s business is a shining example of how women are driving economic growth and sustainability in the countryside. Her passion and dedication to her craft not only provide high-quality products but also empower the local community and showcase the potential of small-scale, women-led enterprises in rural areas.

Marc and Blaine also had the opportunity to participate in our annual hemp harvest event—a highlight of the year for us! 🌿✨ This event is a true celebration of the hard work and dedication that goes into growing and harvesting hemp. It was wonderful to see them engage with our community, get their hands dirty in the fields, and experience the camaraderie that makes this event so special.

Another highlight of their traineeship was meeting Mafalda (and her daughter), our very first trainee. It was great to see the connection between past and current trainees, sharing experiences, learning from each other, and building on the sense of community that our farm fosters.

We’ve put together a special video on our Patreon that captures Marc and Blaine’s time here—be sure to check it out and see the journey from their perspective! 🎥

As we say goodbye to Marc and Blaine, we do so with full hearts. They arrived as trainees, eager to learn, and they leave as part of our extended farm family. Their enthusiasm, curiosity, and hard work have left a lasting impact on our farm, and we know they will carry these experiences with them wherever they go.

We’re so proud of the progress they’ve made, the connections we’ve built, and the memories we’ve created together. This traineeship wasn’t just about learning the ins and outs of hemp—it was about building relationships, nurturing passions, and sharing in the joy of sustainable living.

To Marc and Blaine, thank you for your dedication, your energy, and for being a part of our journey. The doors of our farm will always be open to you, and we can’t wait to see where your paths take you next. 🌿💚
