Esperanza Community Farms

Artists: Allan McDonald and Edwardo Rojas

Videographer: Alfredo Avila

Alan McDonald and Edwardo Rojas invite the community to Esperanza Community Farms in Watsonville, California - an inclusive space where people of all ages can learn about organic farming and grow their own vegetables. The farm’s inaugural festival celebrates organic agriculture, connecting art with farm-working families. Through engaging events and a hand-drawn comic, the artists aim to inspire children and families to connect with the land, promoting sustainable farming and healthy eating through the fusion of art and culture. The project emphasizes a deep commitment to nurturing the earth and cultivating a healthy, sustainable relationship between the land and the community it sustains.
