"Cora" harvests pomegranates in Selma CA area. It's supposed to rain and she's worried. She only earns minimum wage and rain causes days she doesn't work. When this happens she doesn't have enough to pay her bills. She's a single mother and depends on the salary. #WeFeedYou

"Eri" is harvesting olives near Redley CA and often ends up making below minimum wage. "Farm labor is not valued. The bosses don't care. We earn very little and the work is very risky with us climbing a 16ft ladder. It's the rainy season & our checks are very low." #WeFeedYou

Farm workers stand in solidarity with striking Starbucks workers.
Starbucks baristas have been fighting for a fair union contract for close to 4 years. Just like many farm workers, @sbworkersunited.org is fighting back against greedy union busting employers.

Farm workers are harvesting green onions by hand in Kern County CA. They bend over for long hours, cutting, bunching, and stacking the onions into crates loaded onto nearby trailers. The work is physically demanding, requiring precision and endurance under the sun. #WeFeedYou

"Justo" is harvesting lettuce in Madera County CA. He labors 6 days a week, working 8-10 hrs shifts. "It's hard repetitive work. We have to be bent over all the time. We cut the lettuce clean off the extra leaves bag it and put it in a box. I earn minimum wage." #WeFeedYou

The apple harvesting season is over in upstate New York, but post harvest orchard maintenance is still going on. Workers are removing the reflective runners that are used to improve fruit quality by reflecting sunlight back into the lower and inner parts of the tree. #WeFeedYou

"Adan" is prunning grape vines in Kerman CA. "It is very hard work. I look up all day to see which vines to cut, so my neck aches from the strain. My hands hurt from using the heavy pruning shears all day long. But there are not many jobs during these winter months." #WeFeedYou

"Leo" shared this pic from Lamont CA. A worker is discing the field using a tractor. This breaks up the soil, buries leftover plant material & prepares the ground for the next crop. This task requires precision to maintain even depth and coverage across large fields. #WeFeedYou
