Stockton Community Garden Hosts Hammonton Farm Workers
garden hosts farmersCaitlin Clarke, sustainability coordinator, Joe Rubenstein, professor of Anthropology, and the Stockton Community Garden hosted a garden barbecue for a group of Haitian farm workers attending the Migrant Worker Outreach program’s English as a Second Language (ESL) summer session to practice English and network with the Stockton student gardeners.

Jersey-fresh produce grown, harvested and cooked by the students was on the menu. A special moment was shared when the ESL students identified an herb similar to mint growing in the garden that had eluded the Stockton gardeners, explained Clarke.

The farmers, familiar with the herb that grows in Haiti, explained that it’s used in tea and aids digestion. The dinner was a great way for the farmers who work long days seven days a week to relax, said Clarke.
