Description
Hello! My name is Sahar. I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, and am traveling solo through Europe this summer for several months. I have spent the last four years working at small organic vegetable farms across the United States, and am leaving my current job helping to manage a 4 acre vegetable farm in California to take some time to travel. I have a deep appreciation and curiosity for nature and am looking forward to exploring the natural landscape wherever I end up. I enjoy working with the land as a way to experience a new place.
Though this trip I am intending to visit places I have never been before, I have traveled throughout Europe several times in my life--my family lived in Spain for a year when I was in high school. I speak English, Spanish, and Farsi.

More details about your skills
Having worked full time as organic farmer for the past 4 years, I have experience with seeding/greenhouse work, weeding and planting, harvest and wash/pack, farmers market sales, pest and disease management, soil health, and some tractor work. I have helped with small building projects at the farm, like setting up caterpillar tunnels. I have some experience with beekeeping, as well as caring for chickens. I love animals of all kinds and would be happy to work with more. I also have experience gardening and working on smaller scale permaculture projects.
Prior to farming, I spent a year working in restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area, as both a baker and prep/line cook, as well as interfacing with the customers. I am passionate about food and enjoy cooking, especially with fresh produce.
I also have more than a decade of childcare experience, as a babysitter, camp counselor, and educator, and have worked with kids of all ages, from toddlers to high schoolers.

Going for walks with Sahar were interesting experiences, she taught me different usages for regional greenery I didn't even know about.
We remember her often fondly when picking vegetables. :)
