i volunteered one (1) halfday on an organic farm and it was a tremendous, unacceptable amount of work. harvest root vegetables at 7am, wash them in the coldest water you've ever felt at 730am, pack the CSA boxes for pickup, harvest wheat by hand (spoiler: it's pointy like foxtails), manually kill bugs, i don't really remember what else we did. but we ended by picking sun-warmed strawberries around 12pm and they were the best strawberries i've ever eaten.
farming is exhausting and no child should be expected to do it except voluntarily
This is what Concerned Ape won't tell you. We gotta make a cottagecore farming simulator that feels awful to play.
Yesterday I delivered three overripe bananas via bicycle to someone in my neighborhood so they could bake banana bread and I was like this is the most stardew ass quest I have ever done
Children? Not unless it’s done under some serious supervision so they don’t get abused, but if it was it would be a good learning environment, like a camp where you learn for a few weeks of the year is fine.
As a learning opportunity, yes. But they shouldn’t be considered “productive assets” or whatever
Yeah I lived with a middle class British girl that had to do farm work for 6 months in country Australia for her visa and it changed her outlook on manual labour and the working class.
Like she did bartending and barista work before so not unfamiliar with the working class and their struggles but 6 months of having to get up before dawn to work in a field to enrich her millionaire employers caused her to develop class consciousness and solidarity in real time.
Going from "Be nice to your bartender even if they make a mistake :)' to breaking up with her boyfriend of 1.5 years because he was like "the working poor should just start their own business if they don't want to be poor" (he had a drop shipping """business""" that started with a loan from his grandparents and also it barely made any money)
