A Moment On The Farm
b"
The COVID-19 pandemic is a moment in which our broader food supply chains have been challenged\\u2014dairy farmers dumping unused milk, farmers plowing over produce, meatpacking plants closing, and grocery store shelves running empty. In some communities, that means people are now turning to smaller, local farms for their produce. One of those farms is run by the Hern\\xe1ndez family in Edinburg, Texas. Amid COVID-19, 26-year-old daughter Civia Hern\\xe1ndez has been working to adapt and bring the farm online, to survive in this new world. In this dispatch, Civia brings us on the ground to her family's farm, which has become a place of peaceful sanctuary for her in these difficult times.
