Preparing for the Summer

Daniel Quintero, age 23, has found a lot of positives within the COVID-19 pandemic. He was optimistic during the interview and emphasized the value he's found living on a farm. "I think if this hadn't happened, I wouldn't be able to be living on a farm and go back to the land, to get connected to nature. Although I was born in a city, I've really enjoyed farm life and learning how to care for a plant. Being in nature has taught me a lot. Also, given that I'm underloading at Carleton, I've had a lot of time to really take in what I'm learning by living at a farm. Although I'm sad to not have a graduation or senior spring, I've still managed to get meaningful things out of this."
